PETALING JAYA: Police will continue investigating national footballer Faisal Abdul Halim’s acid attack case even though it has now been classified as needing no further action (NFA).

Bukit Aman criminal investigation department director Shuhaily Zain said the NFA status refers to the arrest of three individuals, as well as other leads, including closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and a facial sketch distributed by police, which have been found to be unrelated to the case.

“This is the standard operating procedure in any investigation. If an arrest does not contribute to or assist the investigation, the deputy public prosecutor will classify the case as NFA until new developments or information arise,” Bernama quoted him as saying.

He said the three individuals previously detained have been released after investigations found that the actual suspect used a false vehicle registration number, while the forensic analysis of the suspects’ phones did not reveal any evidence of their involvement in the incident.

The CCTV footage and facial sketches obtained so far also could not identify the perpetrator.

Shuhaily said any new development in the case would be communicated to the lawyers representing Faisal from time to time.

He gave an assurance that the probe was ongoing and the investigation paper would be sent back to the prosecution if any new evidence or leads emerged, and advised the public not to speculate on the case.

Faisal, a winger for Selangor FC, suffered fourth-degree burns from the acid attack on May 5 and had to undergo four surgeries.

He was discharged from hospital on May 25 and had at one point considered hanging up his boots. However, he has since returned to action with the football club.

Police previously said they had recorded statements from 23 people. However, they said there was no evidence linking them to the attack.

PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden earlier said the decision to classify Faisal’s case as NFA marked a dark chapter in Malaysian sports.

Apart from calling for the matter to be raised in Parliament, he said the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the police should explain why the case was classified as NFA to avoid eroding the public’s trust and confidence in the authorities.
