A close friend of MyWatch founder and head R Sri Sanjeevan is certain that police are not behind his shooting yesterday.
MIC central working committee (CWC) member G Kumar Aamaan said the Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (pic) has been helpful to Sanjeevan.
"The police, before and after Sanjeevan started receiving death threats, have been helpful. So I can only say no way police are accomplices to this doing," Kumar Aamaan told.
He said Sanjeevan called him three days before the shooting to tell him that police have been very helpful to his activities.
Speaking to The Malaysian Insider from Korea, Kumar said that last night he sent a text message to Khalid on Sanjeevan’s shooting and Khalid replied that he would act on it.
"I have told Sanjeevan many times to be wary of what he does and to be careful, especially after he received numerous death threats."
However, Kumar said, Sanjeevan soldiered on as he believed that he was only doing what's right as a concerned citizen.
“I have one question to ask, however. What happens to future 'Sanjeevans' after this, will they also be subjected to this fate should they come out to do what is right?" Kumar said.
He urged MIC chair Datuk Seri G Palanivel to take the matter seriously.
"I have already sent him a text message on this and I believe he will get cracking on the matter as well."
Sanjeevan's friend, who was with him in the car during the incident, could not be contacted as the police reportedly took his handphone as part of the investigation.
MyWatch, or The Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force, rose to prominence after its patron, former Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan, made public several serious allegations in a few press conferences and interviews.
Chief among them were allegations that politicians were interfering with police work and that criminal elements had infiltrated the police force.
MyWatch also claimed that it had in its possession evidence that top police officers were involved in criminal activities, including money laundering, gambling and prostitution, and were linked with underworld figures and kingpins. -
