SHAH ALAM, Sept 16 — Three specific elements will be looked into over the death of a man claimed to have happened at the Kuala Langat district police headquarters (IPD) in Banting, last Monday.
Selangor Criminal Investigation Department chief, SAC Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said these elements were the duty of care, foul play and standard operating procedure (SOP) compliance.
Nik Ezanee has instructed the district Criminal Investigation Department to open an investigation paper on the report lodged.
“So far, police have classified the case as sudden death and a report was lodged by the deceased’s wife,” he said on the developments of the case via Whatsapp today.
The media reported today on the deceased’s wife, a mother of five, searching for answers into the death of her husband K. Vinaiyagar at the Kuala Langat district police headquarters (IPD) lock-up in Banting on Monday.
