Crime watchdog NGO MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan is out to tarnish the good reputation of the police by making allegations of misconduct against police officers without furnishing proof, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said today.
Khalid repeated that Sanjeevan had refused to cooperate with the police when officers were sent to meet him, and this has forced the police to issue a notice against Sanjeevan so that he provides evidence to back up his claims.
"This guy is not sincere to make things better but he's out to smear some individuals," Khalid told a press conference at Bukit Aman.
"When I sent officers to meet him, he did not want to cooperate. Instead, he created a story that I was lying," he added.
Khalid said if Sanjeevan does not want to provide the evidence to the police, he could hand it over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) instead.
“He talks here and there but he has offered no proof,” Khalid said.
“He is not sincere, he wants to embarrass the police.”
Sanjeevan before this is alleged to have received a letter from the disciplinary department of Bukit Aman demanding that he furnish proof regarding allegations that a top cop with the title ‘Datuk’ was involved in a sex scandal.
The letter stated that the matter is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code and also Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
Under the Penal Code, Sanjeevan could face imprisonment up to five years, for insulting the modesty of another person.
The Communications and Multimedia Act meanwhile provides for a fine of RM 50,000 or imprisonment for not more than a year for the offence of using networks for improper content.
