He said police also confiscated from her surgery scrubs (shirt and pants) and a lanyard belonging to the hospital.

Wan Kamarul Azran said the Sepang police headquarters (IPD) received a report from the hospital staff yesterday at 1pm regarding an unknown woman in the operation theatre claiming to be a medical officer to assist in surgery.
