PETALING JAYA: MyWatch chief R Sri Sanjeevan today said police have arrested many of his informers and are coercing them to give false statements linking him to the underworld.
He named Bukit Aman, IPK Negeri Sembilan and IPD Jempol as those going all out to frame him.
According to Sanjeevan, who is recuperating from a life-saving operation following an assassination attempt on his life, said all his informants are known to Federal Narcotics director Norashid Ibrahim.
“I am very upset at the way the police are handling the situation as some of my informants have been arrested and charged for drug related and gangsterism offences,” claimed Sanjeevan.
He said that before the attempt on his life on July 2, he had revealed the names of rogue cops in Negeri Sembilan, some of whom he alleged received as much RM30,000 in bribes from drug syndicates.
“Why haven’t these police officers I named been investigated or arrested as I have given all the details to IGP Khalid Abu Bakar,” asked Sanjeevan.
“It appears that Khalid is only paying a lip-service and covering up for his men in blue,” added Sanjeevan.
The anti-crime chief also added that the IGP and the Federal Narcotics director have not investigated anything pertaining to his revelations or even at least called in the cops to record their statements.
When asked if he had any inkling of the persons involved in his shooting, Sanjeevan said it could be either the work of illegal gambling den operators or the police to silence him.
He said he could only recollect that two Indian men on a motorcycle wearing full-faced helmets pulling alongside his car and one of them fired a shot in his direction.
Sanjeevan took a slug in abdomen on July 27 at his hometown in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, and was first taken to the Jempol hospital, then to Kuala Pilah before being transferred to the Serdang hospital.
Two weeks later, he was operated on by doctors at the Serdang Hospital to remove the bullet from abdomen. He was discharged last Saturday and is now recuperating at his hometown.
Bukit Aman police who have taken over the investigation into the shooting at the request of Sanjeevan’s father P Ramakrishnan have yet to interview his son.
Musa Hassan still patron of MyWatch
On the allegation by MyWatch advisor S Gobi Krishnan that the NGO was being abused by certain quarters, Sanjeevan said that he was the one who founded the NGO and is fully responsible for it.
He added that Gobi Krishnan’s term as the advisor ‘expired’ in July and that he has also posted a statement to that effect on his Twitter account. FMT was however unable to track down that particular tweet.
Sanjeevan also said that former IGP Musa Hassan was still the patron of MyWatch even though he has formed a new anti-crime watchdog known as Malaysian Community Crime Care Association (MCCCA).
Last Thursday, Gobi Krishnan said that he was concerned that MyWatch was being used by certain quarters for their own personal benefit. He however did not name anyone.
When contacted today, Gobi Krishnan said he had intended to step down from his advisory role in MyWatch in June but had to continue following Sanjeevan’s shooting.
“Now that he is back, I will proceed with my plans to concentrate more on my own NGO, Power,” he told FMT.
