PUTRAJAYA: The Prime Minister’s Department has lodged a police report against several newspapers for publishing the Royal Commission of Inquiry report on the V.K. Lingam video clip before it was made public.

It is learnt that a senior official from the PM’s Department lodged the report at the Putrajaya police headquarters yesterday morning.
