PETALING JAYA, July 29 — Anti-crime activist R. Sri Sanjeevan, 29, who was shot at by a pillion rider in Jempol, Negri Sembilan, on Saturday has implicated misconduct by police personnel in four cases this year.

The allegations involved links of police officers in crime syndicates and bribery.

In an immediate response to the shooting, Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar promised a full-scale probe into the incident and allegations that rogue cops were out to get Sanjeevan, who is NGO MyWatch chairman.

In a Twitter posting Khalid said: “I assure the family and public that our investigations will be thorough and we will look into all aspects including those alleged by Sanjeevan earlier.”

In another tweet, Khalid said Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Hadi Ho Abdullah will “personally supervise” investigations.

Before Khalid’s tweets, MyWatch adviser and former IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan claimed Sanjeevan’s shooting could be related to the “revelations on police involvement with activities of crime syndicates and illegal activities.”

He wants the police to “do a thorough investigation to trace suspects as he (Sanjeevan)had received several threats.”

Tweeting became the order of the day and PKR strategies director Rafizi Ramli waded into the alleged involvemnt of rogue cops by saying Sanjeevan was attempting to reveal the names of cops allegedly linked to drug syndicates before he was shot.

In a Twitter posting, Rafizi said: “I met Sanjeevan on Friday night. He talked about a list of drug related offences (and) wanted me to expose them. I said I will look at it later.

“Sanjeevan wanted my help to expose cops with links to drug syndicates.

“He was on the right trail of something and the information he had was genuine. I am extremely shocked that he was shot.”

Hours before the shooting, Sanjeevan had tweeted that a cop had threatened to provide members of a syndicate with weapons to fire at his house.

Sanjeevan was shot at close range by a pillion rider at a junction near Taman Cempaka in Jempol about 4.30pm. His friend who was in the passenger seat was unhurt.

The victim was smoking and had his car window down when a single shot was fired. The bullet hit the right side of his rib cage but he was able to speed some 300 metres away before asking his friend to take over the wheel.

He is recovering at the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital in Seremban where his condition was described as critical but stable.
