KUALA LUMPUR: The police have recorded statements from 12 individuals to assist in the investigation of a teenage girl who was injured in an acid attack in the Denai Alam area on Nov 8.
Shah Alam district deputy police chief, Superintendent Ramsay Embol, said the investigation is still ongoing to identify the suspect.
"So far, we have recorded statements from 12 individuals and the investigation is still ongoing to identify the suspect.
"Any developments, including the arrest of suspects, will be informed."
Earlier, the father of the victim is seeking justice for his daughter, 19-year-old Nadia Fasha Qistina who suffered 70 per cent burns on her face and body due to an acid attack.
Nadia suffered severe injuries after being attacked with acid while returning from work in Denai Alam on Nov 8.
At the time of the incident, her father said, Nadia had only been working for six days at a clinic there, and was attacked by a man posing as an e-hailing driver who later fled the scene.
"The incident caused my child to suffer severe injuries to the face, body, and legs, requiring eight surgeries. The cost of a piece of skin tissue reaches RM4,000, and I have already paid RM32,000 to buy eight pieces of skin tissue."
Azman, who only works as a burger seller, said that every week, he also has to pay RM1,600 to buy Bactigras, an antiseptic dressing for her healing burns and all of these expenses need to be borne personally.
