PKR today sought an appointment with the inspector general of police in order to get answers for seeming inaction over a PKR-MIC brawl in front of the Prime Minister's Office in Putrajaya on May 2.
According to PKR's lawyer M Manogaran, the IGP's special officer ACP Ramli Mohd Yoosuf has promised to contact him later today with a suitable time for them to meet either IGP Ismail Omar, his deputy Khalid Abu Bakar or CID chief Bakri Zinin.
"He also suggested we meet with the Kuala Lumpur police chief, and we will consider this," he told reporters at the police headquarters Bukit Aman.
Manogaran, who is also DAP's Teluk Intan MP had accompanied a group of about 15 PKR members today to hand over a memorandum to the IGP over the fracas, which left three PKR members injured
He said the group had informed Bukit Aman of their intentions, but neither the IGP, his deputy nor the CID chief is available today to accept the memorandum.
"We told ACP Ramli who was here to accept the memorandum on the IGP's behalf that we want to meet the IGP himself as the police have failed to take action despite the evidences lodged," he said.
He added that the fact that no arrests have been made in the case allegedly also involving MIC Youth chief T Mohan may encourage others to act above the law or become vigilantes.
He added that police appear to be "selectively efficient", acting swiftly in only some cases, like the Dutch kidnapping and Bersih.
The lawyer added that the police have a "statutory duty" to act according to the Police Act and that the perpetrators could be charged under Sections 323, 324 and 325 of the Penal Code for causing grievous hurt.
'Let the courts decide Mohan's fate'
"We are not saying that Mohan is a criminal. (PKR de facto leader) Anwar Ibrahim is charged for purportedly directing people to breach the barricade (during Bersih 3.0), so Mohan too should be charged and let the courts decide if he did any wrong."
