We refer to the excerpt of the letter by Mr Mahendran Kandasamy, “Why aren’t Police involved?” (Sept 6), which referenced an earlier article in Straits Times, “Teen allegedly attacked for sharing video of student vaping; school says it will assist in police probe” (Sept 2).
Following the lodging of the police report, the Police had identified all the students involved and warned them in the presence of their parents. The school is supporting the victim. Her family has been advised to seek the Police’s assistance whenever necessary.
Police investigations into the case are ongoing. The Police take a very serious view of such acts of violence, and we will take firm action against the offenders in accordance with the law.
