Mohan lodges police report against Barat Maniam

The MIC Youth leader claims that Barat Maniam is tarnishing his political image and he has a hidden agenda.

PETALING JAYA: MIC Youth leader T Mohan lodged a police report against the party’s Petaling Jaya Selatan division chief V Subramaniam for accusing him of being involved in an arson attack on the latter’s office yesterday.

He lodged the report at the Puchong Jaya police station at 4.30pm today.

Yesterday, Subramaniam’s office in PJS 1 was razed in the wee hours of the morning, suspected to have been caused by arsonists.

Subramaniam, who is also known as Barat Maniam, had accused the MIC Youth leader to have played a role in the attack.

In his report, Mohan urged the police to investigate and take action against Subramaniam for implicating him in the arson attack.

“It is malicious. He is trying to portray me as a gangster in order to tarnish my political image,” said Mohan.

Alleging that the veteran MIC man had a hidden agenda in his accusation, Mohan said he will take Subramaniam to court for his allegation.

“If anything bad happens to me or my family, I call upon the police to investigate Subramaniam as well,” said Mohan.

Seeming unperturbed, Subramaniam said it was Mohan’s prerogative on whether he wanted to take him to court or not.

Calling Mohan an insecure person, Subramaniam said the Youth leader was worried that the new leadership was taking back former members into the party fold.

“And he did this because I also supported the leadership’s move,” said Subramaniam.

Defending Mohan, MIC publicity and communication chief S Vell Paari said that Subramaniam was mistaken to think that the Youth leader had anything to do with the attack.

“Though Subramaniam is my friend, in this case he is badly mistaken,” said Vel Paari.

Mohan is also Vell Paari’s cousin.

He explained that when his family members are displeased with anything or anyone, they dealt with it face to face.” We face the person head on. We are not cowards to do things behind people’s back,” he said.
