Ampang shooting: Cops set up new probe team


Police have set up a new team to investigate the incident in which police gunned down 26-year-old D Dinesh last month.

NONEAccording to Latheefa Koya (right), who is acting on behalf of two eye-witnesses to the controversial shooting, police did so after a letter was sent to the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman last week.

"The case is now investigated by the Selangor police contingent headquarters under the purview of one ASP Borhan," she said yesterday.

Latheefa said the eye-witnesses, Y Ilavaresan and K Moses, and the deceased's father W Darmasena gave their statements to police on Monday.

Prior to this, Ilavarasen and Moses refused to give their statements because the investigating team was from the same police stationas the team involved in the shooting.

The duo said they had driven in separate cars and were supposed to meet up with Dinesh for supper when the incident took place near Ampang Waterfront at about 2am on Aug 21.

Contradictory versions

They claimed they saw Dinesh came out of his car near a traffic light after it was blocked by two unmarked cars.

Moses, who was two cars away from Dinesh at the traffic light, said he saw Dinesh - who was not armed with any weapon - "running back" to his car when he was shot. Dinesh died at Ampang Hospital two days later on Aug 23.

NONEIlavarasen (left) and Moses said the men who shot Dinesh, who didn't identify themselves and were in unmarked cars, indiscriminately fired at least 10 rounds of ammunition.

However, the police claim that Dinesh was in a 14-car convoy heading to Pandan Perdana to resume a gang fight that had broken out there hours earlier.

Police said they fired twice in self-defence, as the car Dinesh was in rear-ended into a police car, after which the parang-wielding men attacked the police car.

Ilavarasen, Moses and Darmasena have lodged two separate police reports on the incident.
