The development was confirmed by counsel R Morhaneraj, representing the complainant, and Aizzat Mustafa, acting for the 39-year-old Murad Zaidi. Murad Zaidi had been charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code over an incident that allegedly occurred at Persiaran Seksyen U1, Shah Alam, at about 8am on June 15, 2025. Meanwhile, Murad Zaidi said in a statement that following the withdrawal of the case, he would initiate civil proceedings against the complainant, citing significant damage to his professional and business reputation.
