Cops: MIC man's murder probe still on-going
By MEERA VIJAYAN
JOHOR BARU: Police have refuted allegations that they have closed investigations into the murder of former Tenggaroh assemblyman Datuk S. Krishnasamy who was shot at the state MIC building in Johor Baru on Jan 11.
Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the media and the public should not listen to people who alleged that the police have stopped investigating the murder.
“Don’t listen to people who say that the case has been closed and the police are not doing anything. It is all rubbish.
“If you want to know anything, you should ask me. I am telling you now investigations are still in progress and we are going after the culprits,” he insisted during a press conference Monday.
Krishnasamy was shot once under his left eyebrow just as he entered the lift in the MIC building.
He had been on his way for a state MIC liaison meeting when he was killed.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar said that the police were working round the clock to solve the case and had recorded statements from around 60 people.
“At this point I can’t disclose any details as investigations are still in progress. We are doing our best to solve the case,” he said adding that Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan had visited the crime scene and had given instructions to be constantly updated on the progress of the case.
