MyWatch Sanjeevan shot; critical in hospital

Anti-crime NGO MyWatch chief R Sri Sanjeevan is said to be in a critical but stable condition at the Kuala Pilah Hospital.

PETALING JAYA: MyWatch chairman R Sri Sanjeevan was shot by unknown gunmen in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan at about 4.30pm today.

His condition is reported to be critical but stable. Sanjeevan is now warded at the Kuala Pilah Hospital.

Speaking to FMT, MIC central working committee member G Kumar Aamaan confirmed the matter, saying he received the news from Sanjeevan’s father about three hours ago.

Elaborating on the incident, Kumar said that Sanjeevan and his friend B Ramesh, were driving on his car in Bahau town, and was shot at when the vehicle stopped at a traffic light.

“It seems that two unknown men arrived on motorcycle, stopped near Sanjeevan’s car, and fired a shot on his chest.

“But Sanjeevan somehow managed to drive himself from the place and went straight to Jempol Hospital,” said the MIC leader, who is also Sanjeevan’s colleague in another NGO, Aastivaram Foundation.

MyWatch advisor S Gobi Krishnan also confirmed the matter, saying Sanjeevan is now warded at the Kuala Pilah Hospital.

“He was initially receiving treatment at the Jempol Hospital before being transfered to Kuala Pilah,” he said.

FMT was unable to get any comment from Negeri Sembilan CID chief Hamdan Majid.

Sanjeevan has been in the news recently for exposing corruption in the police force. Previously he had informed FMT that he had received many death threats.
