Khairul Nizam Abdul Ghani, who uses the pseudonym Aduka Taruna, said a group of people also seized his handphone and kept him in a room on the first floor of the Rusila mosque in Marang for an hour.

In his police report, Khairul Nizam claimed he was trying to interview Hadi after the prayers but the latter declined.

The blogger said he tried again to corner Hadi outside the mosque, but a man grabbed him from behind and started hitting him.

Others came and also attacked him. The group then escorted him to the room where he was interrogated before being released, he claimed. [star]
