Man lodges report against cops for brutal assault

IPOH - Sungai Siput PSM treasurer S. Nagenteran has lodged a report alleging police brutality by two senior officers from Kuantan, Pahang,

He claimed that they had acted aggressively against at least three detainees, including him, at the Kuantan district police headquarters shortly after they were arrested for camping outside the Pahang Mentri Besar's office.

"I have witnesses and I want the police to investigate the matter as I have no confidence in the Kuantan police," he said after lodging the report at the district police headquarters here yesterday.

Nagenteran was among a group of 31, including six children aged between four and 16, who were arrested on July 10.
