PUTRAJAYA, Aug 6 — The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has urged the public to refrain from uploading or disseminating unverified information, including images, related to the death of Form One student Zara Qairina Mahathir.
It said the circulation of unverified information and images related to the student, which are connected to the ongoing investigation by the authorities, could lead to public confusion.
The AGC also urged the public to cease such irresponsible actions immediately.
“The dissemination of such content could potentially disrupt the smooth and effective progress of the investigation by the relevant authorities,” it said in a statement today.
The AGC also noted that it received the full preliminary investigation report on the case at its Sabah branch on Sunday (August 3), and at its headquarters in Putrajaya on Monday (August 4).
Zara, 13, was pronounced dead at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, on July 17.
She was taken to the hospital after being found unconscious in a drain near the dormitory of a religious school in Papar at 4am on July 16.
Yesterday, the AGC returned the full preliminary investigation report into Zara's death to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for further action and completion.
