Police rule out hired killers in the murder attempt of MyWatch chairman.
KUALA LUMPUR: A new revelation has emerged in the assassination attempt involving MyWatch chairman R Sri Sanjeevan.
Inspector General of Police, Khalid Abu Bakar told FMT today that the shooters were not hired killers but friends of the crime watchdog himself.
“No, they are not hired killers. They are his friends,” Khalid revealed.
When asked on whether the police have any lead to the suspects, Khalid mentioned briefly that police have identified possible suspects.
“Yes we have a few people that we are looking at but I can’t comment more on that matter. We are in the process of investigating. Sooner or later we will find out,” he said.
Meanwhile, responding to Sanjeevan’s earlier expose that police were involved in a drug ring syndicate, Khalid said that the police tried to meet Sanjeevan and his source but the meeting did not materialise as the source – a former drug pusher – declined to meet the police.
“I ordered my director in the Narcotics Department to hold a meeting with them but in the end it did not happen.
“The man (drug pusher) wasn’t ready to meet us. The least they could do is to send us a memo and we can pursue the case,” Khalid shrugged.
On Saturday, Sanjeevan was driving his silver BMW, with his friend, B Ramesh, when he decided to wind down the driver’s window for a smoke at Taman Awana Indah in Bahau at around 4.30pm.
At that juncture, two men on a red Yamaha LC motorcycle wearing full-faced crash helmets drew alongside the car before the pillion rider shot Sanjeevan on the right side of the abdomen at close range.
Sanjeevan was said to be pursuing a case of policemen ganging up with crime syndicates before he was shot.
Sanjeevan is now being treated at Serdang hospital. His condition is reported to be critical but stable.
