"The case is being investigated under Section 203A of the Penal Code, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act and Section 8 of the Official Secrets Act,” he said in a statement sent through WhatsApp today.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Azmi Abu Kassim reportedly said court officials made the report at the Putrajaya district police headquarters.

The Office of the Chief Registrar of the Federal Court of Malaysia in a statement yesterday also confirmed that the written draft judgment titled "Najib Razak’s SRC Appeal: The Judgement” was found to have been leaked.

However, the Chief Registrar’s Office insisted that it was a draft judgment that had not been finalised yet, and that the document had been modified. — Bernama
