Kugan's family wins civil suit against gov't
The family of custodial death victim A Kugan today won their civil suit against the police and the government.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning ordered the respondents to pay RM751,700 in damages to the family and another RM50,000 in costs.
Kugan's mother, Indra Nallathamby, 43, in January last year filed a RM100 million civil suit for damages against the government and police over what she claimed as the "brutal murder" of her son.
She named the then Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar (now inspector-general of police), police officer Navindran Vivekanandan, the then Subang Jaya police chief Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar (now deceased), as well as the then inspector-general of police and the government as defendants.
