Police have detained Gerakan Merah leader Mohamad Ali Baharom, also known as Ali Tinju, after he purportedly threatened Bersih chief Maria Chin Abdullah, Khalid Abu Bakar said today.

The inspector-general of police said they recorded Ali Tinju’s statement before releasing him on police bail soon afterwards.

Khalid also warned all quarters not to blindly accuse the police of practising double standard.
