The Immigration Department had earlier sought public help to track down Md Rayhan, whose last known address was Sirhan Legacy Sdn Bhd B-7-9, Menara Uncang Emas, Jalan Loke Yew, Kuala Lumpur to assist its investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News reports said Rayhan had made false allegations on Malaysia’s treatment of illegal immigrants in its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic when he was interviewed in the Al Jazeera documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police have also started investigating the international television channel for its airing of the documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bernama reported  yesterday that Bukit Aman CID deputy director (Investigation\/Legal) DCP Mior Faridalathrash Wahid confirmed the arrest of the 25-year-old Md Rayhan, saying that the Bangladeshi man was arrested by the Immigration Department and handed over to the police at 6 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
