Jempol district police chief Supt Hoo Chang Hook said the 40-year-old councillor was arrested in Bandar Sri Jempol after a member of the public reported the incident, which happened on Friday.

He said the 39-year-old victim claimed that he was assaulted, including being beaten with an object.

"He suffered injuries to his stomach and back and was given outpatient treatment at Hospital Jempol,” he said in a statement today.
