SEREMBAN, Sept 17 A man who claimed to be an Islamic medicine practitioner was arrested by the Negri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS) today while trying to perform sex on his patient he was treating at her house in Kampung LBJ, here, today.

The 48-year-old man was nabbed in a raid by JHEAINS at 12.30pm while purportedly treating the 24-year-old woman.

JHEAINS enforcement division principal assistant director Ahmad Husaini Mustafa said the suspect, from Kuala Lumpur, had earlier contacted the victim to treat her difficulty to conceive.

Upon arriving at the victims house, he recited some Quranic verses to treat her and perform nikah batin (spiritual marriage) with her which was contrary to Islamic teachings.

The man then tried to take advantage of the unsuspecting woman by performing sex on her, but his attempt was foiled by the JHEAINS raiding team, he told a news conference, here.

Ahmad Husaini said the raid was conducted following public information and complaints received.

We believe the suspect, who is married with children, is not knowledgeable in Islam but was using Quranic verses to dupe the victim in order to take advantage of her.

He said a number of items including a Quran and a religious booklet believed to be used in the treatment, were also seized during the raid.

Ahmad Husaini said the suspect was believed to have been involved in the activity for quite some time, and their initial investigation showed that he had treated three women.

The case is being investigated under Section 49 of the Negri Sembilan Syariah Criminal Enactment for misusing Quranic verses, Section 50 of the same Enactment for insulting Islam and Section 77 for seducing a woman. Bernama
