Unverified sources said that Samy Vellu was busy answering calls regarding this death while he was at the SJKT Vallambrosa school. It seems that among the suspects who tortured the detainee<\/a> was a Indian inspector. Not sure on how valid this information is.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the family of deceased lodged a police report<\/a> and denied saying that the deceased was an asthmatic patient.\u00a0 Some representatives from DAP, PKR, MIC and Makkal Sakthi were present there as well offering their support. MK reported that about 80 people were present at the Seri Kembangan police station, venting their anger ath the police.<\/p>\n

They held up banners with pictures of the deceased, showing the injuries he sustained while in police custody.<\/p>\n

The banners read: “police are licensed killers”, “police are killing Indians” and “police are thirsty for Indian blood” in Malay and English. They also briefly chanted slogans.<\/p>\n
