KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Police have not receive any report on the disappearance of Indian businessman Allal Kanthan Muthuraja, who was said to have gone missing early this year, Deputy Inspector General of Police Datuk Hussin Ismail said.
He said police only received a report about a cheating case "to free" the businessman, who was from Chennai, on March 29.
He said police only received a report about a cheating case "to free" the businessman, who was from Chennai, on March 29.
"We can confirm that we received a report on March 29 at the Klang police station from the victim's elder brother, Dr Kasi Viswanathan, claiming that 'Bukit Aman police' had asked for a sum of money purportedly to free the businessman.
"So at that time, we investigated the case as cheating. Police then investigated the case as missing person when the businessman's wife S. Usharani made a police report on Sept 8," he told a news conference at the Bukit Aman police headquarters, here.
Hussin said it was not true that police did not act accordingly in investigating the disappearance of the 34-year-old businessman as claimed by the victim's family.
"I can confirm that our men had tried to trace Allal's whereabouts but were unsuccessful. When we received the report on Sept 8, we went deeper into the case and probed into its connection with the investigations into the murder of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others," he said.
He also urged the victim's family to allow police to investigate the case in details and only obtain updates on the case from credible sources.
"To prevent the sourcing out of information to individuals or other parties, we have appointed an officer to channel all available information to the family," he said.
He added that police had arrested two men in connection with the case, one in Taman Wilayah, Selayang and the other in Kampung Laksamana, Batu Caves, in the past 10 days.
Meanwhile, on the police report lodged by the suspect in the murder of the cosmetics queen and three others, claiming police brutality, Hussin said investigations were ongoing and that the suspect had been sent for medical examination.
