Set up a special task force to investigate the injuries sustained to Baskar while he was in police custody

Early this morning one Baskar Rao a 47-year-old security guard went to the Jelapang police station to lodge a police report. The report was as regards a break in into the place he was the security guard.

Unfortunately, the police apparently refused to accept his report. Thus, with an ensuing tussle, he was handcuffed. But in the process, somehow due to the police, Baskar apparently decided to commit suicide and he lighted fire when he had some “substance” all over his body which caught fire. In the process, he was severely burnt all this took place about 1-2am this morning in the Jelapang police compound. And now has been admitted to the General Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun in Ipoh.

As the incident happened while he was with handcuff he is considered to be in “police custody”.

His family member one R.Adhi Lakshmi a/p P.Rajagopal, 54, has lodged a police report and the case is been investigated by Insp Firdaus.

The police Department owes an explanation as to what actually happened and will the irresponsible police officers be hauling up?
As soon as we received information I proceeded to the Ipoh police station wherein I met the relatives of the victim.
I urge as the complaint is against the police it is unfair and unreasonable for the police to investigate their own man for the alleged wrong doing by the police. Ridiculous as it may sound, the general rule is the police will investigate the wrongs done by the police themselves!!

I urge the Home Minister to order an independent task force and inquiry to ascertain as to the how Baskar set fire to himself in the Jelapang police compound.
I am sure the police CCTV was functioning at the material time which will provide much of the required information.

We are given to understand by Baskar’s relatives the police are guarding round the clock in Ipoh Hospital. Apparently, he has suffered 90% burns and fighting for his life.
