In a court appearance, Nazmi Izzuddin Zubairi, 30, did not enter a plea regarding the charge against him. The alleged incident occurred at his home in Taman Tunas Muda, Sungai Ara, at approximately 5:45am on Aug 27.

Nazmi had been under a six-day police remand, which expired on the day of the court appearance. He was represented by Muhaimin Hashim, Yazid Khairul Azman, and Ismat Arif Abu Hassan.
