Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar today revealed that investigation papers on the 27-year-old carpark attendant, B Prabakar, who was allegedly tortured by seven police officers have been referred to the attorney-general.

In a written response to M Manogaran (DAP-Telok Intan), the home minister said the A-G had also instructed that seven police officers involved, to be charged under Section 506 and Section 304 of the Penal Code.

In December 2008, Prabakar had alleged that he was tortured during interrogation by police who beat him with a rubber hose and splashed boiling hot water on his body.
