The 29-year-old victim, who works as a salesgirl, was having a drink with her friend at a restaurant nearby at the time of the incident, reported Harian Metro.

“The woman was approached by three men, believed to be Malaysians, who introduced themselves as policemen. The men then grabbed the woman’s hands and pulled her towards a parking lot. Her screams were heard by members of the public, who then rushed to help her,” said Ampang Jaya deputy police chief, Superintendent Mohd Azam Ismail.
