Negri Sembilan police officers have returned to check on the status of MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan's recovery, even though the latter's father had insisted the state's police stop investigating the attempt on Sanjeevan's life last month.
P Ramakrishnan told Malaysiakini today that he saw the officers a couple of days ago at the Serdang Hospital where Sanjeevan is warded, and claimed they have been making inquiries about Sanjeevan's condition.
"They have been interviewing the doctors," Ramakrishnan said.
He said he was "very unhappy" about the state police’s meddling into Sanjeevan's case again after he openly claimed that the Negri Sembilan police might have had a hand in the attempt on the life of Sanjeevan (right).
"I have informed about their (Negri Sembilan police) presence to MyWatch adviser S Gobikrishnan and have asked him to communicate this matter to the police again," he said.
The officers, Ramakrishnan further claimed, were the very same ones who had came to collect the bullet removed from Sanjeevan’s rib cage last week following surgery.
He was referring to an incident last week where he had refused to let Negri Sembilan police officers collect the bullet retrieved from Sanjeevan's body.

He, instead, insisted that men from the Bukit Aman police headquarters take over the case.
In his meeting with Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigations Department (CID) chief Hadi Ho Abdullah last week, Ramakrishnan (right) was given the assurance that Bukit Aman police were overseeing the case and that Negri Sembilan police were no longer involved in the investigation.
Sanjeevan was shot by two men on a motorbike in Jempol, Negri Sembilan, on July 27. He underwent surgery last week to remove a bullet lodged in his ribcage.
He is now deemed to be out of danger. However, his father said Sanjeevan currently "cannot remember many things".
"He's getting better, but he can't remember a lot of things about what happened (to him).
"But he hasn't started talking yet. He's not ready to start talking yet," Ramakrishnan added.

'A small matter'
Meanwhile, MyWatch adviser S Gobikrishnan, when contacted, said that he had contacted Hadi Ho over the matter and referred to the presence of the Negri Sembilan police at the hospital as a “small matter”.
“They are only there to assist, mainly because of the distance (between Bukit Aman and the hospital),” he said.
“But the investigations still are being done by Bukit Aman,” Gobikrishnan added.
He also said that Sanjeevan’s friend, Ramesh Balakrishnan, who was with Sanjeevan in the car during the shooting last month, is still in jail.
“He’s being detained under Act 136 of the Dangerous Drugs (Preventive Measures) Act, which allows for detention without trial for 60 days. We have not had the chance to meet him,” he said.
Gobikrishnan said that upon the expiry of the 60 days, Ramesh could be further detained for two years, under the instruction of the home minister.
