Set up task force to investigate shooting of crime watchdog chief, says DAP


A special team must be set up to investigate the shooting incident of MyWatch chief R. Sri Sanjeevan and police personnel assigned to it should  not be  connected to his past complaints on the cops, said the DAP.

Its National Legal bureau chairman Gobind Singh Deo said this was necessary as there was a possibility that Sanjeevan was shot due to his recent expose about police involvement in crime syndicates. Sanjeevan had in the past complained of threats to his life and had also lodged police reports.

“If this is true, then caution must be taken in dealing with the matter and a special team must be set up to investigate the shooting,” he said in a statement today.

“We must be sure that those assigned to this case are in no way connected to the complaints made by Sanjeevan in the past.”

Gobind, in calling the inspector-general of police to ensure a full and thorough probe into Sanjeevan’s shooting, said the police must also inform the public on what happened to the reports he had lodged prior to his shooting.

“Were there investigations and if so, what came out of it? It is even more disheartening to read that Sanjeevan had complained hours before he was gunned down that he received news that 'a cop had told some syndicate fellow that he would get them firearms' and planned shots to be fired at his house to scare him and his family,” said the Puchong MP.

“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 said this was a serious matter and one of immense public concern.

He said if the government wants the public to assist the police in its fight against crime and for the public to participate in community policing, then they must convince the public that it is safe to do so.

Sanjeevan was shot in a drive-by shooting at an intersection yesterday evening in Taman Awana Indah, Bahau.  

He was in his silver-coloured BMW, with the window open while smoking a cigarette, when two men on a red LC motorcycle approached from the back.

The pillion rider drew out a weapon and shot Sanjeevan, hitting him in the right rib. The gunman then alighted from the motorcycle but the victim sped off.

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 that politicians have been interfering with police work and that criminal elements have infiltrated the police force.

MyWatch also claimed that it has in its possession evidence that top police officers were involved in criminal activities, including money laundering, gambling, prostitution and have direct links with underworld figures and kingpins.
