He claimed that 'the robbers' had shoved a knife at his wrist and pointed the pistol at his head and forced him to surrender a laptop and RM20 cash.

According to the investigation officer, the report lodged by the accused caused a stir as it involved a dangerous weapon, a pistol which made it a serious offence.

The offence framed under Section 182 of the Penal Code provides for an imprisonment up to six months or fine, or both upon conviction.
