Police have detained four men to assist investigations into the firecracker explosion during a Thaipusam celebration at the Sri Subramaniya Swami Temple in Sungai Petani yesterday, during which 26 people were injured.
The incident took place about 8.30pm while the crowd was witnessing the chariot procession emerging from the temple, which started about half-an-hour earlier.
Kuala Muda district police chief ACP Saifi Abdul Hamid said the four men, aged between 25 and 34, were arrested about midnight for investigation under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means and Section 4 of the Corrosive and Explosive Substances and Offensive Weapons Act 1958.
He said no permit was issued to the organizer of the event for the firecracker performance but did not rule out the possibility of a group of people lighting the firecrackers to add gaiety to the celebration.
