Speaking to FMT, Sanjeevan confirmed that when he was staying at a hotel in Seremban, the authorities conducted a khalwat raid there at 1.30am today.

They went to his room but found nothing amiss.

In the viral text, it was claimed that the joint raid by the Negeri Sembilan religious authorities and a police team from Bukit Aman led them to two adjoining rooms.

In the first room, it was alleged that the lone occupant emerged after 10 minutes. She was a fully-clothed policewoman.

The viral text said authorities did not find any male clothing in her room.

In the next room, the alleged occupant was Sanjeevan. The authorities did not find any female clothing in his room.

It was further alleged that the policewoman admitted to meeting Sanjeevan, but no intimate relations took place.

Sanjeevan said the part about the policewoman admitting to meeting him was a “blatant lie”.

He said he had never met the policewoman on that day and had only seen her before at some events.

Furthermore, he said he could not be held responsible for what happened in the adjoining room.

“What happens if there is a female minister staying in the adjoining room? Will people say that I am having intimate relations with her?”

Sanjeevan said that the spreading of the message was a clear attempt at tarnishing his reputation.

“First, it was Prevention of Crime Act (Poca), now it is khalwat. I won’t be surprised if tomorrow it is liwat (sodomy).”

He said after all, in Malaysia, the most common ways to tarnish a person’s reputation was to link them to corruption, crime or sexual acts.

Yesterday, an FMT report said Sanjeevan would not flee the country and was prepared for the worst amid speculation that he could face action under Poca.

Sanjeevan had said he had been warned by an unknown man last week that he could be detained by the authorities over his expose of an alleged spa which he claimed doubled up as a vice den near the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters.
