Rocky Court Case: Dog Owner & Dog Catcher Accused of Animal Cruelty, Both Plead Not Guilty

The court set bail at RM6,000 each after the prosecution sought RM20,000, and the case is set for mention on Oct 8.

  • On Thursday, delivery rider Muhammad Shah Idham Nor Haikal Shaharom and Roghini Devi pleaded not guilty at the Klang Sessions Court to animal cruelty charges involving a dog named Rocky.
  • Prosecutors allege the incident occurred July 29 in Taman Telok Gedung Indah, Port Klang, during a Klang Royal City Council operation where Shah Idham allegedly strangled the dog with a looped rope and Roghini purportedly pulled it.
  • Sessions Court Judge Mujib Saroji set bail at RM6,000 for each defendant, requiring monthly reports to the Selangor Veterinary Services Department; both face charges under the Animal Welfare Act carrying up to three years imprisonment.
  • Lawyer Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, representing Shah Idham, threatened to sue individuals including some Members of Parliament for allegedly posting defamatory remarks, claiming the statements resulted in security threats against his client and family.
  • The court scheduled the case for mention again on Oct 8 as the defendants await further legal developments following their not guilty pleas entered this week at the Klang Sessions Court.
