The Allegation
According to the prosecution, Riza threatened Siti Nur Dalila at the car park of the Galeria retail complex in Presint 4, Putrajaya, at around 10pm on September 9.

The case was fixed for mention on November 25 to enable the prosecution and defence to update the court on the outcome of the representations, which Boestamam later said would be sent in the following week.
Bail Conditions
Riza was granted bail of RM10,000 in one surety, which he posted. He was also ordered to surrender his passport and report to a nearby police station once a month until the conclusion of the case.
