The police will record the statements of two deputy ministers over Tuesday night's incident where some 50 people barged into the Serdang Hospital mortuary where the body of 22-year-old Kugan Ananthan who died in police custody was being kept. It was reported that Deputy Ministers in the Prime Minister's Department T Murugiah and SK Devamany were present at the morgue. When contacted, Murugiah said that Kugan's family members had already entered the morgue by the time he arrived there. "I got a call from the victim's family member at nearly 11pm and I rushed to the hospital... by the time I got there the family members had already rushed into the morgue," he said. "The reason I went there was to calm the situation as some of them were frantic after looking at the injuries on his (Kugan) body."
In a related matter, DAP's Klang member of parliament Charles Santiago lambasted the Selangor police chief for trying to protect his officers by claiming that Kugan had died of breathing difficulties. "I watched the video recording of Kugan taken at the mortuary. The footage revealed severe marks on his body, deep cuts on his wrists and bruises on his legs. Blood was oozing from his nose," he said in a statement. "Kugan was held under a two-week remand to facilitate police investigations linking him to several car theft cases. The job of the police is clearly to find enough evidence to charge him in court. It was not to beat him to death," he added.
The same matter was also raised by Malaysian Indian United Party president KS Nallakaruppan, who said that the police must come clean on the matter. "This is the second incident in a short period of time. First we had the case of car park attendant B Prabakar and now this," he told Malaysiakini. The Prabakar-case involved police personnel allegedly abusing and pouring hot water on the man while being questioned in police custody. He was picked up to assist in investigations into a robbery. Subsequently, seven police personnel were charged with voluntarily causing hurt to Prabakar and 18-year-old C Solomon Raj to make them confess to a criminal intimidation case.

Is the police so desperate to nail the suspects to the point of resorting to violence? Maybe the public to blame lah, you know. We should stop complaining about the police that they are not doing enough to fight crime. Now you see what happens...they are so driven that they drive suspected criminals to death. Opppss...but then again, don't simply accuse, ok. Police are also citizens like us - innocent until proven guilty.
Also, not all police are bad. Only a few bad apples spoil the whole force or does the rot start from the top? ;)
