Witness who testified against cops 'arrested'

A witness in the just-concluded R Gunasegaran inquest was allegedly roughed-up and arrested by several men claiming to be policemen last night. The victim, unemployed K Selvachandran, 39, was one of the witnesses who had testified against the police in the custodial death inquest.

Social activist C Sekar told FMT that the men came to Selvachandran's house at the Desa Rejang flats in Setapak here around 10pm.

"Five men came in, all big sized. I was told they looked like plainclothes policemen. Before Selvachandran could open the door, they reached in and twisted his arm and tried to break open the door," said Sekar, who helped the family file a police report on the incident.

Once they entered the house, Sekar said the men immediately handcuffed Selvachandran, who was just clad in a sarong.

“His wife had to put on a pair of pants for him. The men also used foul language,” he added.

One of the men, who identified himself as “Inspector Suresh”, told the family that Selvachandran would be detained for 60 days at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters for drug-related offences.

CID chief: Don't spread rumours

Contacted later, Kuala Lumpur CID chief SAC II Ku Chin Wah claimed to be in the dark over the matter.

“I don't even know who he (Selvachandran) is. Don't spread rumours,” he told FMT.
