Kuala Lumpur - Malaysian police on Sunday sought the assistance of international police in their hunt for a private detective who alleged that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak had sex with a murdered Mongolian woman, but retracted his statement just one day later.

Balasubramaniam Perumal, along with his wife and three children, was believed to have gone into hiding, or is being hidden by other parties, said Malaysian Criminal Investigation Department director Bakri Zinin.

On Saturday, Balasubramaniam's nephew lodged a missing persons report after his uncle retracted a statement linking Najib with 28-year-old Altantuya Shaariibuu.

Bakri said police requested the assistance of Interpol to locate Balasubramianm and his family.
