Following complaints from residents, members of Operation Kau Da Badala carried out the arrest at a recreation centre on Ring Road.
The deputy commandant general of the board, Mujahidin Aminuddin Abubakar, said the offense was against the Hisbah legislation, which prohibits bathing of people of different gender in the same space.

In addition to urging parents and guardians to closely monitor their children’s whereabouts,
Abubakar stated that the suspects would face appropriate punishment when the investigation was concluded, urging parents and guardians to closely monitor their children’s whereabouts.
