Johor Chief Police Officer Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said today Johor police legal officer DSP Kalwan Singh would meet with the Member of Parliament for Bukit Gelugor soon.
He said Kalwan Singh would obtain verification from Karpal Singh on his reported statement on Oct 7 that Krishnasamy's murder was politically motivated and that he would raise the case in parliament.
"If Karpal (Singh) says his statement is correct as reported in the media, then we will record a statement from Karpal (Singh) to assist police in the investigation into the murder," he told reporters at the Johor police headquarters.
At the news conference held by Karpal Singh, Krishnasamy's family had asked for an in-depth probe into the murder and stated that the case had not been settled even nine months after the murder and after police had hauled up several suspects.
The 61-year-old Krishnasamy was found dead in a lift at the Johor MIC building in Jalan Segget here on Jan 11 with a gunshot wound below his left eyebrow.
A man was seen leaving the area on a motorcycle after the then Johor MIC deputy chairman was shot at 2.10 pm.
Mohd Mokhtar said the police had picked up 13 people and recorded 56 statements in their investigation into the case.
"We have been doing our work. I ask anyone who has information to come forward to help in the investigation," he said.
