Couple urges police, MCMC to act against alleged blackmailer

 

Social media personality Santhi Raj Barr said a suspended police officer has been posting defamatory videos about her on Tik Tok over the past year.

PETALING JAYA: A social media personality and her husband have urged the police and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to take immediate action against a man they claim has been extorting them.

Santhi Raj Barr and husband Rayan Sanjev Barr claim the man harassing them is a suspended police officer.

Santhi told FMT that she has lodged multiple reports to the police and MCMC, claiming that the individual was spreading false and defamatory statements about her on TikTok.

“It all started when my late husband M Mahaviknaraj passed away in 2017, after which his best friend came and told me that Mahaviknaraj didn’t die a natural death.


“With my late husband’s best friend was a police officer who kept agreeing with whatever I was being told.

“Then the best friend told me that the post-mortem report (on Mahaviknaraj’s death) needed to be altered so that it does not leave a black mark in my life,” said Santhi, who married Rayan several years after her previous husband’s death.

She claimed that two days after Mahaviknaraj’s funeral, the duo came to tell her that they had altered the post mortem report, and asked her to pay the police officer RM300,000.

“Despite me telling them not to alter the report, they started threatening me saying that if I didn’t pay the amount they would tell the police the ‘truth’.

“Once again I told them to just go ahead and do whatever as I already had a lot on my plate back then in 2017. This is when their blackmail and lies began,” she said.

According to her, the blackmail stopped for a while, which was why the couple did not file a police report at the time. However, she said the suspended police officer started posting videos about her and Mahaviknaraj on TikTok last year.

“When he noticed that Rayan and I did not react to the video, he started making more videos claiming I owed him money.

“He also posted pictures of my son and that is when I first made a police report. We felt at that moment that he was trying to extort us.”

Meanwhile, Rayan claimed the police and MCMC have not done much despite the multiple reports filed. The MCMC only took down several videos posted by the alleged blackmailer.

“But those videos were later reuploaded by him. There was not much action taken by the police or MCMC and the suspended police officer is still uploading content (on TikTok).”

He said he and Santhi recently filed a civil suit against the suspended policemen for defamation.

“We managed to obtain an injunction, but when (our lawyer) tried to serve it on him, he refused to sign. The injunction is to prevent him from making any postings and also (requiring him) to take down all previous postings.”

Rayan claimed that when their lawyer tried to serve the injunction on him, the suspended police officer chased him away with his car.

“The law firm has lodged a police report against him over that incident,” he added.

FMT has reached out to the police and MCMC for comment. - FMT
