Gobalakrishnan to be called up about remark about Indian police in Penang.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former member of parliament N Gobalakrishnan is to face a police investigation after alleging that Indian members of the Penang police were protecting the 04 Gang in drug activities.
He made the remark over Twitter on Friday evening, Bernama reported.
The Inspector-General of Police, Khalid Abu Bakar, responded on Twitter today, saying the comment was a serious allegation against the force, and would be investigated.
Gobalakrishnan, former MP for Padang Serai, would be asked to assist in the investigation, he said.
The former MP confirmed that he had tweeted on the issue from his account @Ngobalakrishnan. He would not comment further.
The 04 Gang is said to be among 46 dangerous secret societies involved in drugs and armed robberies in Kedah, Penang, Johor and Kuala Lumpur. It also goes by the names Tiram Sasi in Johor, Sungai Way Sugu (KL), Green Line Samy and Prai Bala (Penang), Langkap Sasi (Perak), Selvam (Batu Gajah), Ragu (Ayer Tawar) and Sudha (Sitiawan).
In August 2013, a Nazi swastika, the numerals 04 and the letters RIP (“rest in peace”) were found spray painted on the walls of a police beat base and the district police headquarters in Banting, Selangor, two days after five people, said to be gang members, were shot dead by police in Penang.
