The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) received a report about the matter from the victim on August 30 (Saturday) at 3:21 AM, in which the girl claimed that she was gang-raped.
Seremban Police Chief, Mohamad Hatta Bin Che Din, said that according to preliminary investigations, the girl went to a karaoke place in Senawang on August 29 (Friday) at 8 PM.
When she wanted to go home, she asked one of the teenagers, whom she had just met on the “Leo” application, to send her home.
The suspect agreed, but instead of sending the victim home, he brought her to an unknown house, where the victim said she was gang-raped.
