A woman, aged 33 years was sleeping in her bedroom, which is located very close to a corridor. Zulhusny Bin Mohammed was walking along the corridor at that time, and he saw the windows to the victim's bedroom opened.

When her hands hit Zulhusny Bin Mohammed's hand, the victim was shocked, and soon she started shouting. She rushed out of the room and informed her landlady about the bitter experience.
The landlady soon called the police, and a complaint was lodged. Later, the landlady revealed that Zulhusny Bin Mohammed Arshad had moved some clothes hangers and curtains that night before touching the private parts of the victim.
