Coroner Mohd Zulbahrin Zainuddin said even though the death of R Thangaraja was related to coronary heart disease and diabetic complications, the deceased could have been saved if the police had given him timely medical assistance when in the lock-up.
“The failure to give him early medical aid is connected to the negligence of the lock-up management authorities,” he said.

Manikavasagam Sundaram (right) tells DSP Faizal Samsuddin of the problems the 2 Hindu temples face |
KUALA LUMPUR: Temple priests ask IGP to act against intruding gangsters. A total of 48 reports have been lodged with the police by worshippers at two Hindu temples but no action has been taken so far.
