The family of 27-year-old deceased Thilak Chellapan will lodge a police report against the Port Dickson police station for negligence in the next two days.
A plan to sue the police is also on the cards, which will be decided after the release of medical findings in the final post-mortem report in two weeks.
The family’s lawyer, Jason Tan, told Malaysiakini that the family will consider suing the police for negligence.
"If we find they (the medical findings) are liable then we will sue but we will wait for the details of the post mortem report first," he said.
Application to attain a copy of the second post-mortem has been made today and will be attained in around two weeks.
Thilak, badly wounded from a fight arising from an alleged robbery attempt, was brought to the PD police station on Saturday at around 7:30am by his alleged assailants.
He was later escorted by police officers to Hospital Port Dickson in Bandar Sungala at 8:30am to seek medical attention to his wounds.
The hospital pronounced him dead at 11:20am.
Thilak was cremated at Jalan Tun Dr Ismail, Seremban today.
Exact cause of death unknown
The deceased's family claimed that Thilak was wrongly accused and beaten up by a group of men.
The family added that a quick police response could have saved Thilak's life.
The first post-mortem concluded that Thilak died of hypertension heart decease. Unsatisfied with this, the family sought for a second post-mortem from the same hospital which admitted that there were bruises all over his body, caused by a blunt object.
But the exact cause of death has yet to be determined.
Thilak's family came to know of his plight after receiving a message, asking them to pick him up at the PD police station.
Relating Thilak's condition to Malaysiakini, his sister-in-law Carolyn Harol Haden said he could barely stand on his own and even collapsed outside the toilet.
She said he was complaining of extreme pain and difficulty in breathing.
The police had brushed aside the family’s complaints, saying that Thilak was pretending while they were recording statements from two individuals who brought Thilak in.
Two individuals have been detained for questioning.
