IGP dismisses multi-million ringgit house claim

Khalid Abu Bakar says the corruption report lodged against him was made out of spite.

Khalid-Abu-Bakar
PETALING JAYA: Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar has dismissed allegations that he owned a RM5.5 million mansion, claiming the accusation was made out of spite over action taken against the accuser, R Sri Sanjeevan.

Khalid said he would not respond to the MyWatch chairman’s “desperation”, reported theSun.

“He has made a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and I leave it to them,” Khalid was quoted as saying.

Sanjeevan had yesterday lodged a report with the anti-graft agency alleging that Khalid owned a multi-million ringgit property in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan and called for the IGP to be investigated. He also claimed to have documents to back up his report.

Sanjeevan’s run in with the law began in June when he was nabbed for allegedly extorting over RM20,000 from a businessman.

The following month he was detained under the Prevention of Crime Act (Poca) 1959, which was subsequently followed by a series of arrests for various offences.

In August, the former PKR man was arrested again for the alleged extortion of a gaming centre owner.

Last week, police seized several cars from Sanjeevan’s house as part of their on-going investigations.
