Graft busters beat me up, says new witness
SHAH ALAM, Sept 9 — He was handcuffed and taken into a dark room where he saw a tall man with spectacles wrapping an iron ceiling rod in newspapers.
He was told to strip. Several men assaulted him. He was hit with the metal rod, punched, kicked, slapped and caned on his genitals and the soles of his feet until he passed out from the pain.
Sivanesan Tanggavelu, 22, who stepped into the witness box at today’s inquest into the death of political secretary Teoh Beng Hock gave a highly-graphic account of his experience at the hands of the Selangor graft busters.
The assistant manager of a Kuantan-based company recounted how he was met at home on Sept 4 last year by three men who said they were anti-graft officers and requested his help in an investigation.
He followed them to their office on the 14th-floor of Plaza Masalam here and tried to get him to sign a document admitting guilt.
When he refused, one of them, whom he called “Mohan”, told him in Tamil: “If you don’t tell the truth, this place will be hell.” - + selanjutnya
