Arrest warrant may be issued by police over alleged Antarabangsa theft

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 (themalaysianinsider)— Bukit Antarabangsa landslide survivor K. Thanarajah, whose wife Dr N. Yogeswari died in the recent disaster, risks being issued an arrest warrant by the police.

Selangor Police Chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said this was due to the fact that Thanarajah had not come forward to give a statement claiming that search and rescue personnel were still searching an abandoned bungalow at Bukit Antarabangsa after operations had been stopped.

At a press conference, he announced that he had ordered for a notice to be issued to Thanarajah, under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code, to request for his presence at the police station and provide a statement to what happened in Bukti Anatarabangsa.

He added the police only possessed a picture of a man drying clothes, given by Thanarajah, which did not clarify whatsoever crime was being committed.

Commenting on baseless police reports, Khalid warned against the dangers of unfounded accusations and advised parties involved should come forward to assist in investigations.

“Such claims are bad for the security staff and also the family involved, so we want to get to the truth as fast as we can.”
