MACC: Sanjeevan yet to furnish proof on claims
(The Star) – Deputy Chief Commissioner Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdull said the body could launch an investigation into Sanjeevan’s claims of cops colluding with drug syndicates if he provided evidence that would corroborate his claims.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has not received any evidence from MyWatch chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan despite his continuous allegations against the police.
Its Deputy Chief Commissioner Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdull said the body could launch an investigation into Sanjeevan’s claims of cops colluding with drug syndicates if he provided evidence that would corroborate his claims.
“We have not received any evidence or report from him (Sanjeevan). We welcome people to come forward with evidence instead of just making allegations,” he said.
“We are always ready to act in curbing corruption but the cooperation of the people is a must,” he said.
Urging the public to come forward with credible evidence, Mohd Shukri said the commission was aware of allegations of police officers allegedly under the payroll of the underworld and syndicates but a report must be lodged before action could be taken.
“Allegations of police corruption is a serious matter but we need the cooperation of the people,” he said when contacted yesterday.
Former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan was reported to have said that Saturday’s shooting of Sanjeevan could have been due to his revelations alleging police involvement in the activities of syndicated crimes and illegal activities.
Sanjeevan and a friend were driving a silver BMW to have a drink in Bahau when two men riding a red motorcycle approached them.
The pillion rider reportedly fired a shot which hit Sanjeevan on the right side of his ribs.
According to doctors treating Sanjeevan at the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital, his condition has worsened due to internal bleeding.
