Police have never treated as a 'suspect' the individual who recorded and made viral the video of the incident where snakes were thrown into a pool at the Civil Defence Force uniformed unit camping programme in Kuala Kangsar.
Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said the individual concerned had been sought earlier because he is the key witness to the incident and was needed to facilitate investigations.
"We have since identified the individual who has cooperated well with the police.
"We were looking for him because he was the first to see what happened, for instance who threw the snakes into the pool, and the sort of training the students were undergoing," he told reporters after a ceremony celebrating Orang Asli police veterans in conjunction with the 47th anniversary of VAT 69 Commandos, here today.
In this regard, he urged the public not to continue questioning, especially through social media, the reason the police were looking for the individual concerned earlier.

Khalid said police have recorded as many as 21 conversations to assist in investigations into the incident.
"If there is a mistake we will investigate and submit to the Attorney General for further action," he said.
Earlier this week, a more than two-minute recording of the incident went viral and was criticised by netizens when some students in a muddy pool were seen crying and screaming after snakes were thrown into the pool they were crossing. - Bernama
