Why has no robust criminal action followed the January incident?

Question

## Gobind Singh Deo has not been provided with a clear explanation for the delayed criminal action, and the reference material does not disclose the official reasons behind the lack of robust prosecution.

Accepted Answer

Gobind's statement reveals frustration that despite the January 2025 incident involving over 100 inmates and resulting in one death, criminal accountability has remained limited more than a year later. He has demanded that the Inspector-General of Police and Attorney-General provide transparent answers about how many police reports were filed and what criminal action has actually been taken. The Suhakam inquiry documented systematic abuse—excessive physical violence, weaponised batons and pepper spray used against handcuffed detainees, and deliberate falsification of medical records—yet Gobind's public challenge suggests these findings have not automatically triggered proportionate criminal charges or prosecutions.
