Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar has pledged a thorough investigation into the shooting of anti-crime NGO MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan, including his claim that rogue cops were out to get him.

"I assure the family and public that our investigations will be thorough and will look into all aspect including those alleged by SS (Sri Sanjeevan) earlier," Khalid said in a Twitter posting this morning.

In another tweet, Khalid also gave an assurance that Bukit Aman will monitor the investigations and the CID director will "personally supervise" investigations.

Allegations of errant cop involvement surfaced as Sanjeevan had foretold his fate in a tweet, just hours before he was shot.

Sanjeevan was shot at about 4.30pm in Jempol, Negri Sembilan. He was reported to be in stable but critical condition after undergoing surgery.
DAP: Cops should be vigilant

He rose to fame late last year when he organised a series of press conferences featuring former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan.

Among others, Musa had claimed that there are currently high-ranking police officials with underworld links.

Following this, Sanjeevan had received several death threats and was assaulted in Kuala Lumpur in April.
Meanwhile, DAP's Gobind Singh Deo urged the police to set up a special team to investigate the matter, to consist of persons unrelated to the complaints made by Sanjeevan in the past.

"The question is having been informed about the attempt on his life or harm upon him and his family and knowing that there were previous attempts on his life, did the police take any steps to protect him before he was shot?" Gobind, who is also Puchong MP, wrote in a press release.
