Selangor police completed their investigation into the death of Rocky, a stray dog that died during an enforcement operation in Port Klang on July 29, 2026. They have identified the individuals responsible and will bring charges against them tomorrow at the Klang Magistrates’ Court, authorities said today [1, 2, 3].
The charges are being pursued under Section 428 of the Penal Code for causing the death of an animal with the intent to cause wrongful loss or damage [1, 3]. Police received instructions from the Deputy Public Prosecutor’s Office to proceed with the case [1, 3].
Several individuals connected to the incident, including officers from police and other enforcement agencies, are expected to be charged [3]. Among them is Muhammad Shah Hizam, 24, who has been served a summons to appear in court [2, 3].
Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar held a press conference today, urging the public not to hold rallies, demonstrations, or gatherings at the court related to the case. He said, "I advise against escalating this issue to the point of holding any rally or demonstration because, from a legal standpoint, the investigation has been completed and we have identified the parties responsible." He added, "There is no need to escalate this issue to the extent of organising any gathering or demonstration. Let the law do its job" [1, 2, 3].
The public gallery of Klang Magistrates’ Court will be open to those who wish to attend the proceedings, the police said [2]. Police will maintain security and public order during the court sessions and have urged all attendees to comply with their instructions [1, 3].
The charges filing is scheduled for August 20, 2026, marking the next step in the legal process following the investigation completed earlier this month.
