The lorry driver has undergone surgery for head injuries and is still listed in critical condition.
PETALING JAYA: A 48 year-old-man was allegedly beaten up while in police custody but the police have refused to explain the reason behind his arrest or the beating.
The man, Francis Doriasamy @ Mosses, a lorry driver, was arrested at his apartment in Bandar Kinrara, Puchong, at about 2pm on Jan 6.
His wife, Sundrum M Parasuraman, 54, received a call from the police at about 11pm the same day saying that her husband was under arrest.
The next day (Jan 7), she went to the Serdang police headquarters and was told that her spouse was sent to the Puchong Jaya police station.
“They told me that they took him there and that I could not visit him.
“On Jan 8, I went to another police station in Serdang but this time the police told me that they have transferred him to the Shah Alam police station and again said that I could not visit him,” said the cleaner.
She added that the police also told her that they will inform her on the date her husband will be taken to court and that she could see him then.
“However, on the same day [Jan 8], at about 11pm, I got a call from the police saying that my husband has been admitted to Tunku Ampuan Rahimah hospital in Klang,” she said, adding that they told her he was in “critical” condition and asked her to rush to the hospital.
Sundrum said the hospital also contacted her and informed her of her husband’s condition.
When she arrived at the hospital, all her fears came true. She saw Francis was unconscious and looked terrible.
“Doctors informed me that he has to undergo emergency surgery to his head because he was bleeding in the brain,” she said.
Uncooperative attitude
Sundrum added that her husband was transferred to the Sungai Buloh hospital on Jan 9 to undergo surgery.
Her attempts to seek information from the policemen on duty at the Sungai Buloh hospital on why her husband was arrested and suffered head injuries were futile.
Sundrum, frustrated at the uncooperative attitude of the police, then sought the advice of Kapar MP S Manikavasagam.
“He [Manikavasagam] told me to make a police report. I urge the Selangor police chief [Tun Hisan Hamzah] to investigate this case thoroughly so justice can and will be served,” she said.
On Jan 13, she lodged a report at the Sungai Buloh police station.
Manikavasagam said that Francis is still unconscious at the Sungai Buloh hospital.
He added that he believed Francis was beaten while in police custody.
He said he will accompany Sundrum and her family to meet Tun Hisan on Jan 21.
