Former attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail has appointed former Malaysian Bar president Ragunath Kesavan as his counsel following Umno Youth's police report accusing him of plotting to topple the prime minister.
"Yes, I am representing Abdul Gani. I will take instructions to institute legal action," Ragunathn told Malaysiakini today.
However, Ragunath did not stipulate what type of legal action is to be taken.
Umno Youth vice-chief Khairul Azwan Harun on Tuesday lodged a police report accusing Gani, former Bank Negara Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz and outgoing Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Abu Kassim Mohamed of conspiring to topple Najib Abdul Razak.
Gani had earlier rubbished the claim as a "publicity stunt", while Zeti said she would seek legal counsel. Abu Kassim said he would respond to the allegations soon.
