Kapar MP S Manikavasagam has filed an application to set aside a warrant of arrest issued to compel him to attend the inquest of actress K Sujatha, whose death has been linked to the son of MIC president S Samy Vellu.
In his application, the PKR supreme council member is seeking to quash the Coroner’s decision, saying that this was the first time that someone has been issued an arrest warrant even though a subpoena has not been served.
Meanwhile, Manikavasagam or Mike as he is also known said he would attend the next inquest hearing on July 9 “with or without the subpoena”.
He also announced plans to submit to the court a video taken at her funeral and Samy’s son Vell Paari’s reaction to her death.
“A copy of the VCD has been handed to the police and also to Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan, yet no action has been taken,” Mike said.
The 28-year old Sujatha, who also worked as secretary for Vell Pari, died on June 25, 2007, four days after being admitted to the Klang Hospital after she allegedly drank paraquat.
Vell Pari has denied any romantic relationship with the actress or that he had caused her death.
Nevertheless, allegations remain unabated that foul play was involved and Mike has been among the first to insist on full and fair investigation into her death.
