Johor police are actively investigating Datuk Dr. Mohd. Puad Zarkashi, a former member of UMNO's Supreme Council, following multiple police reports lodged against him. The confirmation comes from Johor Police Chief Datuk Ab. Rahaman Arsad, who stated that the investigation is currently underway.

While the specific allegations leading to the police reports have not been disclosed, the confirmation of an active probe indicates a serious development. Puad Zarkashi, a prominent figure within the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), has been vocal on political matters, and the nature of these reports could stem from his public statements or actions.

Datuk Ab. Rahaman Arsad declined to comment further on the specifics of the investigation, emphasizing only that it remains ongoing.
