The police today warned supporters<\/a> of HINDRAF not to gather at Brickfields police station tomorrow to make a police report on mistreatment of Uthaya’s medical condition. The organisers are expecting more than 1000 people<\/a> to come to the police station to lodge police reports.<\/p>\n

The police will consider it as illegal assembly if many of them gather in front of the police station. Well, as long as they don’t wear any Hindraf symbol, the police can’t do much. Anyone can make a police report. But police says only 3 representatives will be allowed to enter the station to make the report.<\/p>\n

City police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohammad Sabtu Osman said that due to the massive number of people lodging similar reports on the same issue, police would allow only up to three representatives of the group to lodge the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no need to lodge police reports in such a huge number as the case will be investigated as one case,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He stressed that action would be taken on anyone who participated in the gathering under Section 27 of the Police Act as it would be considered an illegal assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is as if they are mocking the police by lodging so many reports at the same time,\u201d he said Friday during a press conference at Kuala Lumpur police headquarters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems the police are already investigating the case based on the report made by his fiancee.<\/p>\n

DCP Mohammad Sabtu added that the police were already investigating the police report lodged by Uthayakumar\u2019s wife, S. Indradevi.<\/p>\n

On Feb 15, Indradevi lodged a police report against the Taiping Hospital, Kamunting detention centre officials and the Government claiming that they had neglected her husband\u2019s worsening diabetic condition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, a lawyer says its wrong to stop people from making police reports:<\/p>\n

However, lawyer N. Surendran, who was with Indra when she lodged the report, said that it was wrong for the police to only allow representatives to lodge police reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it is 500 people or 10 people, every citizen has a right to enter a police station and lodge a report,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder why they didn’t take a leaf out of UMNO and make reports nationwide. That will be more vocal compared to assembling at one station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
