Ex-Convict Details Alleged Police Brutality During Interrogation

An ex-convict, K. Tamilarasan, provided a detailed account of alleged police brutality he and S. Balamurugan experienced during an interrogation. Tamilarasan stated that shortly after their arrest on February 6, at the Bandar Baru Klang police station, both he and Balamurugan were subjected to physical abuse. Tamilarasan himself reported being struck on the head with a bamboo stick for approximately 30 minutes, and also described being beaten on the soles of his feet with an orange hose pipe.
Balamurugan Subjected to Physical Assault

Tamilarasan further alleged that Balamurugan was physically assaulted by police officers. This included being slapped on the face and punched on his left ribs. An officer identified as Inspector T. Mohaneswaran from the Serious Crime unit (D9) reportedly made a statement to Balamurugan, saying, “outside, you’re the head. But, inside, I am the head.” Following this, Tamilarasan claimed Balamurugan was then punched in the chest by Mohaneswaran, and subsequently kicked in the chest by another officer.
Deterioration of Balamurugan's Condition

The alleged beatings had a severe impact on Balamurugan's health. Tamilarasan recounted that after the interrogation concluded, Balamurugan's condition visibly worsened. He stated that Balamurugan coughed out blood while being transported, and Tamilarasan had to assist him to walk towards the patrol car.
Pleas for Medical Attention Ignored

Despite Balamurugan's deteriorating state, Tamilarasan claimed that his pleas to the police regarding Balamurugan's condition were disregarded. He stated that when he informed the driver of the patrol car that Balamurugan was coughing blood, the officer's response was "padan muka," which translates to "well-deserved."
