BALIK PULAU: Police have detained an insurance agent in connection to a criminal intimidation case last Sunday.
The 30-year-old man was nabbed when he surrendered himself at a police station here on Wednesday, the same day the victim, a food delivery man, lodged a police report.
Southwest district police chief Superintendent Kamarul Rizal Jenal said at about 8.13am last Sunday, the 28-year-old victim had contacted his insurance agent to cancel his insurance policy.
He said he could no longer afford to pay and was no longer interested to continue with the policy.
"The insurance agent then threatened to kill his client if he cancelled the policy.
"He also said that he would pay for his client's policy for three months to complete the one-year period the client subscribed to the policy.
"He also told the client that if he goes to the insurance company to cancel the policy, he would cut him," he told the New Straits Times.
The victim lodged a police report at 3.47pm on Wednesday.
Kamarul said the case is being probed under Section 507 of the Penal Code.
"Investigation is underway," he added.
