Another Accused reported Death while under Police Custody At Sri Damansara Police Station. Last Friday June 12 Gnanaprasagam 53, father of 6 children reported had complaint to Petaling Jaya Majistrate willing police seeking remand against him that he was beaten up severely and seek immediate medical attention. However, the Majistrate denied his request and set him under remand.
Sunday about 1220 noon police had called on his wife for identification at University Hospital without given any reason of his death. Police only allowed his wife to view late Gnanapragasam’s face during the identification.
Later the family seeks the assistance of myself , YB S Sivarasa MP of Subang and YB Elizabeth Wong ,ADUN in seeking justice over her husband’s death.
His body found with bruises is currently at University Hospital Mortuary Petaling Jaya pending autospy and other procedures. Our request as elected representative to view the body was rejected by Hospital authority, however after pleading they allow his Wife and two sons view the body last night at the mortuary. Even then they only allowed to see his face and left part of upper body.
The family complainted his face and left part of his body found with lot more bruises then what they saw last friday.
Here is the police report made by his Wife accompanied by Human Right Lawyer Renuga , YB Sivarasa, YB Elizabeth Wong and myself at UH police beat.
The police feel unease on our presence with few supporters immediately ordered to issue summons on cars parked outside hospital compound around 11pm on ground it causing traffic flow when it’s moving smoothly.
Police must understand we are the lawmakers elected by the people , if the police force had carried out their duties and responsibility according to countries law they have noting to worry on our presence.
It looks like Police still in hunger killing accused in custody despite 80 over cases reported over last six years. As long as the country adminstration continue to neglect basic Human Right fundamentals , and as long as the ruling government protect their Servants from severe punishment aganist any wrong doing ,custodial death will continue. What are we going to do? Why, police act as RAJA in Malaysia until Government of the day afraid of them?
