MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan is showing signs of recovering from his memory loss as he has started to recognise his parents, said his father today.

NONEP Ramakrishnan (left) told Malaysiakini that over the past few days, Sanjeevan was able to recognise his family members, though he was still unable to recall his past activities, and also the attempt on his life on July 27.

"He can recognise us (family) now. But he appears to be very afraid nowadays," he said.

He said that doctors have assured that Sanjeevan's memory will fully recover, though how long it would take for the anti-crime activist to be back to normal remains unclear.

Ramakrishnan also said that the family have not received any updates from the police regarding their investigations into Sanjeevan's shooting.

"I also have not seen any police around (the hospital) recently," he said.

Sanjeevan is currently warded at the Serdang Hospital, and has undergone a surgery to remove a bullet lodged in his ribcage.

The bullet was removed 18 days after he was shot by two men on a motorbike in Jempol, Negri Sembilan on July 27.

Sanjeevan reportedly was about to expose the underworld links of some Negri Sembilan police officers before he was shot.

His father had said that he has reason to believe that the Negri Sembilan police were involved in the attempt on Sanjeevan's life.

The Bukit Aman police are now handling this case upon Ramakrishnan's request.
