The charge, under Section 394 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same code carries a maximum jail term of 20 years and fine or whipping, upon conviction.
Earlier deputy public prosecutor Kamarul Aris Kamaluddin did not offer any bail as it was a non bailable offence but lawyer K. Komagan representing Mohamad Zulkarnain and the five juveniles requested for a low bail.
The court allowed Mohamad Zulkarnain and four juveniles bail of RM1,200 in one surety each with an additional condition to report to the nearest police station once a week and ordered the accused not to disturb the prosecution witnesses.
The court fixed June 28 for re-mention. — Bernama
