Polis & samseng belasah lelaki bergari hingga mati...

Seorang pengawal keselamatan dalam keadaan bergari yang dikejar oleh empat anggota polis telah dibelasah hingga mati bersama-sama sekumpulan 20 orang samseng di Hulu Langat semalam, dakwa seorang saksi hari ini. 

Walaubagaimanapun punca anggota polis cuba menahan mangsa berusia 40 tahun C Sugumaran masih belum diketahui.

Beliau didapati dalam keadaan berbogel dan bergari, menurut saksi.


Mayatnya pada ketika ini berada di Hospital Serdang dimana keluarga mangsa tidak dibenarkan untuk menjenguk.

Menurut saksi yang hadir di hospital hari ini, kejadian tersebut berlaku pada pukul 6.30 petang semalam. 

Sugumaran dilihat melarikan diri daripada empat anggota polis di dalam dua buah kereta peronda di jalan utama yang berjarak lima minit dari rumahnya.

Keadaan trafik ketika itu sesak menyebabkan anggota terbabit memberhentikan kenderaan mereka dan mengejar Sugumaran dengan berlari.

Selepas menangkap dan mengari Sugumaran, hampir 20 orang daripada restoran berhampiran menyertai anggota polis tersebut dan meneruskan serangan keatas mangsa.

"Polis memijak leher Sugumaran," kata R Moohanarajan kepada The Malaysian Insider di Hospital Serdang hari ini.

"20 ke 30 orang ramai memakai baju biasa membelasah mangsa. Dia terbaring dengan tangannya bergari di belakang," tambah Moohanarajan yang merupakan jiran Sugumaran.

Saksi ditempat kejadian itu berkata insiden tersebut berlaku hampir 10 minit antara 6.30 petang semalam berhampiran tanah perkuburan Taman Perkasa di Batu 12, Hulu Langat.

Hampir 20 orang terdiri daripada keluarga Sugumaran, saudara dan jiran berkumpul di hospital sejak 9 pagi dan meminta untuk melihat mayat mangsa.

Emak mangsa, K. Manimagalay hanya dibenarkan untuk melihat mayat anaknya enam jam kemudiaan pada 3.10 petang.

Beliau teresak-esak menangis selepas keluar dari bilik mayat dan terpaksa ditenangkan oleh adik lelakinya.

Pertengkaran berlaku apabila Ahli Parlimen Kapar S. Manikavasagam menjerit: "Gari masih dibadang. Celaka! Dah mati tapi masih gari."

Orang ramai mula menjerit marah dengan lima anggota polis cuba mengawal keadaan diluar.

Moohanarajan, seorang pengganggur berkata dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah selepas membeli permainan video telah melihat anggota polis mengejar Sugumaran kemudiaan membelasahnya, menggarinya dan kemudiaan membaling serbuk kunyit ke muka mangsa.

Beliau menambah polis foreksik hanya datang pada jam 11 malam untuk mengalihkan mayat mangsa ketika hujan turun.

Manimagalay berkata anak bongsunya Sugumaran tidak memiliki sebarang rekod jenayah.

"Dia tidak pernah mencuri. Dia tidak membunuh sesiapa... Orang ramai berkata dia bergaduh dengan warga Nepal lagipun," kata beliau kepada wartawan.

Ibu kepada tiga anak tersebut juga berkata Sugumaran mengalami sakit mental tetapi tidak menyatakannya dengan jelas.

Rakan Sugumaran, T. Panirselvam berkata Sugumaran seorang yang panas dan sering bertindak secara melulu jika diusik.

"Mungkin dia tertekan," kata Panirselvam, sambil menambah ibunya sendiri pernah membuat laporan polis keatas Sugumaran beberapa tahun lalu tetapi tidak menyatakan puncanya.

Peguam keluarga Sugumaran, N. Surendran memberitahu hari ini selepas melihat mayat mangsa beliau mendapati kaki kiri mangsa tercedera dan terdapat banyak parut yang menunjukkan "dia telah ditolak jatuh".

Surendran juga menggesa siasatan segera oleh pihak polis dan menggantung tugas pegawai polis yang terlibat dalam insiden.

Keputusan bedah siasat masih belum lagi dikeluarkan pada ketika ini.

Ketua Polis Daerah Kajang DSP Marzuki Mohd Mokhdar memberitahu akan memaklumkan kepada wartawan selepas bedah siasat selesai yang dijangkakan malam ini.

"Kami tidak akan sembunyikan apa-apa," kata beliau.-malaysian insider

'Cops smear turmeric, fatally beat guard'...

Four policemen are alleged to have chased after, handcuffed and then smeared turmeric powder on the face of a security guard, before beating him to death together with a mob at Taman Pekaka, Hulu Langat yesterday.

The body of the victim Sugumar Chelliah, 40, is currently at Serdang hospital with his hands still handcuffed, claimed PKR human rights and legal bureau chief Latheefa Koya when contacted this afternoon.

Latheefa (left), who is at the hospital with Sugumar's family, said they are still waiting for the preliminary findings of the post-mortem.

She claimed that family members had been waiting to see the body after receiving a call from the police at 11.30pm last night informing them about Sugumar’s death.

Latheefa, who claims to have spoken to a person alleging to have witnessed the incident, said it took place at around 6.30pm yesterday.

According to her further, the eyewitness claimed police pursued the victim near to a cemetery there.

However, it was still not known why the deceased was being chased by police in the first place.

“He was beaten, handcuffed and one of the police personnel took out turmeric powder and more (beating) by 10 to 20 people.

“Police then brought a stretcher and covered the body with the stretcher,” he said.

She added that the deceased is believed to have been left by the roadside since his death at around 7pm till about 11pm, when a police forensic team arrived at the scene and took the his body to Serdang Hospital.

Hospital staff called police

PKR deputy human rights and legal bureau deputy chairperson S Jayathas, who was also at the hospital today, said a disturbance occured outside the morgue when hospital staff refused to allow Sugumar’s family to identify his body.

He claimed the situation became tense after the hospital counter staff refused to entertain family members who had arrived there, and instead called the police to handle the matter.

“The counter staff all went inside (the hospital). They called six security guards and around 20 police personnel, including four with M-16 rifles, to stand guard,” he said.

He added that at first, the investigating officer only permitted one family member to identify the body.

However, after discussing the matter with laywer N Surendran police allowed Surendran, Kapar MP Manickavasagam and four relations to see the body, Jayathas said.

Accoording to him, Manickavasagam established that the victim was still in handcuffs.

Latheefa said she, together with the deceased’s family, will determine the next course of action in a few hours times, after first studying the post-mortem findings.

“We urge the immediate suspension of all (police) involved and the arrests of those involved in the beating. This (case) must be classified as murder and an independent investigation be carried out,” she added.-malaysiakini
