Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said it was learnt that the policeman would take the legal action personally.
"Like any other people, he (policeman) has the right to take legal action. So, it's up to him to do so," he told reporters after campaigning house-to-house in Bukit Indera Muda, here, Sunday.
Gobalakrishnan was arrested to facilitate investigation after he created a commotion on nomination day for the Permatang Pasir by-election at the National Youth Skills Institute, here, on Monday.
During the incident, a policeman was manhandled when he tried to break the commotion which occurred at about 11am.
Meanwhile, Hishammuddin said the police would also investigate into the allegation made by the Lunas assemblyman, Mohd Radzhi Salleh, that Gobalakrishnan's action was masterminded by a certain party.
"We will collect all information pertaining to the allegation and carry out thorough investigation," he said declining further comments.
When asked whether Umno would invite Mohd Radzhi to join the party following his decision to leave the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) today, Hishammuddin said:
"Umno is open not only for the assemblyman, but also to anybody who wants to join it anytime," he added. -- BERNAMA
