IGP: Have we ever shielded errant cops?

 
Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar has stressed that errant cops are not protected, adding that if there is evidence, those responsible will face the music.

Khalid was commenting on the slew of exposes by MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan (right).

Khalid told reporters that the whistleblower has refused to cooperate with the police on investigations concerning his allegations.

"If we have enough evidence, we will not protect our men. Have we ever protected our men in criminal cases? If there is evidence, bring it," he said.

"The same with Sanjeevan, he exposes this and that. But when I send my senior officers (to obtain information), he refuses to give.

"I don't know who he wants to give the evidence to. We will probe all complaints and take action," Khalid added.

Recently, Sanjeevan claimed that he has evidence regarding a sex scandal involving a top police officer.

However, he wanted an assurance from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that action would be taken before revealing the evidence.

On another matter, Khalid said the police were tracking down the five Malaysians, who are believed to have fled abroad, wanted in connection with militant activities.

"They are very dangerous. I wish to stress that this is related to terrorism. God willing, we are on top (of the matter). We are also working closely with other security forces," he said.

Yesterday, the police said that among those sought was a lecturer at Universiti Malaya's Academy of Islamic Studies.

Dr Mahmud Ahmad, 36, is a senior lecturer at the Department of Akidah and Islamic Thought.
