A General Operations Force (GOF) personnel was injured on the head during a joint operation against illegal immigrants at Kampung Forest here yesterday. District Police Chief ACP Rosli Mohd Isa said the personnel, who fell when the wooden bridge he was walking broke, was rushed to the district hospital for treatment. He said 363 illegal immigrants were roped in during the operation but 127 of them were later released after producing valid travel documents. Those foreigners detained comprised 187 Filipinos, 41 Indonesians and eight of various nationalities, said Rosli. In an unrelated case, police detained three men on suspicion of raping a 13-year-old girl at a public park in Jalan Aman here yesterday. The three supects, aged 15, 16 and 39 years, are the alleged victim’s neighbour who were arrested after her mother lodged a police report. Rosli said initial investigations showed that the victim was pregnant and she was raped between 2004 and November last year. Police investigated the case under Section 376 of the Panel Code and the victim has been sent for medical examination at the Duchess of Kent Hospital here.
