Court order issued to compel Sanjeevan to hand over evidence

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have issued a court order on anti-crime group MyWatch's chairman R.Sanjeevan (pix) to compel him to hand over evidence of his damning allegations of power abuse and corruption in the police force.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said today, Sanjeevan has 14 days to respond to the summons issued under Section 51 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
"This man is not sincere in correcting the situation. His intentions are to tarnish the reputation of certain individuals and the image of the police force. When we sent our officers to interview him on the claims he had made, he refused to cooperate. If he does not want to hand over the so-called evidence he has to the police, then he should take it to the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency). There is no need to hand it to us. If he is really sincere, he would do that but that is not his intention. Hence, we have decided to carry out a probe on the matter and compel him to provide us with the evidence he claims to have." he said at a press conference in Bukit Aman.
Sanjeevan, who went public with shocking revelations of graft and other discrepancies in the police force last year, suffered serious injuries after he was shot by an unidentified gunman in Jelebu on July 27.
After two months of fighting for his life, he made a full recovery and alleged the police had made threats to shoot him for his expose prior to the incident.
The latest allegations he made last month was against former Sabah police chief DCP Datuk Hamza Taib's son whom he claimed had assets worth millions despite being unemployed.
However, Hamza who was transferred to the federal police commercial crimes investigations department (CCID) two weeks ago as deputy director, denied the allegations and claimed his son was a director of several companies.
