A few days ago, a video went viral of a local female model losing her temper at two policemen who confronted her for not wearing a seatbelt and using a mobile phone while driving along Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Brickfields.
After the video had gone viral, Brickfields police chief, ACP Amihizam Shukor, said she would be investigated for three charges, including Section 233 of the MCMC Act and obstruction.
Meanwhile, the woman, identified as M. Gayathiri, was released on police bail last night and took to TikTok to explain what truly happened.
In the video, she shared that her case is still under investigation and would pay for her summons, if any.
However, she claimed that the viral video did not show the whole interaction with the police and only showed her arguing. She said the policemen provoked and spoke to her disrespectfully, so she defended herself.
She said she was not driving but moved the car slightly regarding the summons.
Gayathiri also added that the viral video was only released online four days after the incident, making her feel like that was a personal attack.
She claimed that if she were a man, the police wouldn’t even question why the seatbelt was not put on or why she spoke on the phone.
To conclude, she advised people to know the full story before forwarding the video and spread good things instead of forwarding negative things to become viral and gain popularity.
