Kugan injuries not reported, court told

By Syed Jaymal Zahiid - The Malaysian Insider

PETALING JAYA, Feb 23 — The injuries sustained by A Kugan while under police custody were not reported despite requirement by standard operating procedure (SOP), the Sessions Court here was told today.

ASP Rodney Pasla Harris, who took the stand again today, said it would be SOP for police officers to lodge a report should any harm come to a suspect under their supervision.

However, in the case of Kugan’s death, no police report was made although the 23 year-old’s death was duly reported.

Harris, the serious crimes branch chief for the Taipan police station, is the first witness in the trial of R Navindran, the police constable charged with causing grievous hurt to Kugan.
