tilak-2

Another car repossessor aged 28 reported to be death while under Police custody at Port Dickson Hospital today.

Family member of late Thilak refuse to accept police explaination that he died due to heart attack as they found injuries on his body. Family had requested second post mortem.

Thilak, 28 is believed to beaten up by either a group of plain cloth police personnels or Thugs while attempt to arrested him.

Despite serious injuries and blooding police refuse to seek immediate treatment. They waited for about 2-3 hours until family members beg them to send for treatment.

Accused is reported had been under medical care and been hand cuffed throughout until his pronounce dead.

It is still unclear if police continue to beat him up at lock up after arresting and why police refuse to send the detainee for treatment immediately. Who, actually beaten the accused prior police arrest still remain a mystery.

It’s puzzling what kind of treatment was accordwd to late Thilak. Whether , he was treated properly at the hospital too remain a question mark. What lead to his death to be classified as heart attack also puzzling when the late Thilak has not prior bad health report.

Police Officer ASP Wee ignored by laughing on my attempt to get clarification from them on causes of death. It’s purely due to the country’s current system of adminstration and amount of power vested on police force. Government’s failure to penalize police officers and those culprits working within their system will continue to lead marginalised and poor Malaysian being treated or continue to face such brutality.

Anyway, it’s clearly another police brutality and black mark on Malaysian basic human right.
