KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1- The woman believed to have uploaded to YouTube the controversial video clip showing a man celebrating Hari Raya with three dogs has been arrested and taken into police custody at Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department.
Her lawyer, Latheefa Koya, said Maznah Mohd Yusof, 38, was being investigated under Section 298A of the Penal Code for causing disharmony, disunity, or feelings of enmity or hatred on grounds of religion.
“She has been detained since 4.30 pm to have her statement recorded. I’m not sure how long she will be put in police custody,” she told Bernama when contacted here Wednesday.
Maznah, who is known as Chetz, was believed to be the individual who uploaded the video, which shows a man strolling near a mosque with three dogs and the ‘takbir Raya’ playing in the background, to YouTube.
The recording which lasts 1 minute and 44 seconds also shows the man in a black baju Melayu performing ablution before preparing kuih raya for his dogs.
