A case stemming from an alleged assault in Bentong has been closed after the complainant decided to withdraw his police report, authorities confirmed. The case has been classified as NFA (No Further Action) following the father's decision to drop the matter.
Two students had been arrested in June after a man lodged a report alleging his son had been beaten and threatened by the teenagers. The incident had triggered a police investigation into the allegations.
The withdrawal of the report effectively concludes the matter, with police taking no further investigative steps. The decision by the complainant to retract his report has led to the closure of the case file.
No further details regarding the circumstances that prompted the complainant's decision to withdraw have been disclosed. The case serves as a reminder of how assault allegations can be resolved through civilian intervention and reconciliation outside the formal court system.
