Najib and Rosmah Allegedly Involved in Conspiracy and Undue Influence in Land Deal Dispute

Businessman JR Deepak Jaikishan alleged that former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor were involved in conspiracy, duress, fraud, and undue influence concerning a land deal. These allegations were made in a civil suit filed on October 12, 2018, which claimed significant losses for Deepak's company due to the actions of the defendants. The suit sought substantial damages, including RM600 million in general damages, RM50 million in exemplary damages, and RM26 million in aggravated damages.
Allegations of Conspiracy and Duress

Deepak claimed that elements of conspiracy, duress, fraud, and undue influence were present in the execution of agreements related to the land deal. These agreements involved Bakti Wira Development Sdn Bhd and Boustead Holdings Berhad. The core of Deepak's assertion is that these alleged illicit influences led to his company suffering substantial financial losses.
Specific Property and Financial Claims

The civil suit, which was initially struck out by the High Court on July 17 of the previous year, specifically addressed a property deal that purportedly caused considerable financial detriment to Deepak's company. As a result, Deepak sought a total of RM676 million in damages from the defendants, encompassing Najib and Rosmah, for the alleged harm incurred.
Legal Proceedings and Appeal Status

Deepak's legal challenge is ongoing, with his appeal to reinstate the civil suit scheduled for hearing at the Court of Appeal on October 8. In a related development, the Court of Appeal granted Deepak an interim injunction order on June 30, restraining Bakti Wira Development from disposing of 19 per cent of his shares in Astacanggih Sdn Bhd. This injunction is in effect pending the disposal of his appeal. However, an application to restrain the companies from dealing with 223 acres of land in Kapar and Bukit Raja in Selangor was dismissed.
