KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — A social media influencer has been remanded for four days, starting yesterday to facilitate investigations into allegations of sending obscene images to a teenage girl.

Gombak District Police Chief ACP Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir said the case is being investigated under Section 15(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.
