“(It is all) thanks to Jamal. He has given me the idea that I can give the media a helicopter tour of ‘Istana Mantin’,” he said, adding that more details would be revealed soon.

Sanjeevan was speaking to FMT after questioning by police at Bukit Aman police headquarters.

He was called up after he made several allegations against the police, including one that claimed the IGP was the owner of a palatial property, dubbed Istana Mantin, in a series of blog posts.

The property in question is a RM5.5 million mansion in Kampung Gebok in Mantin.

Khalid has refuted the allegation, claiming it was made out of spite over police action taken against Sanjeevan.

The IGP had said he would not respond to Sanjeevan’s “desperation” and would leave it to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate the matter.

Sanjeevan’s response was that although he had hoped for an answer from the IGP, he would wait for the MACC to investigate.

“I urge the MACC to expedite the investigation into the RM5.5 million mansion in Mantin.”

He also reminded the IGP to concentrate on his “priorities” instead of targeting whistle-blowers.

“Your job is to fight crime and you should be doing that instead of fighting crimebusters and whistle-blowers like myself.

“There are many cases that the police should be investigating. They are not addressing crime in the country.”

Sanjeevan is facing at least 14 criminal charges, including for forgery, cheating, defamation and money laundering.

He was first arrested on June 22 for allegedly extorting RM25,000 in “protection” money from an illegal four-digit business operator.

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

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

On Nov 2, police seized several cars at Sanjeevan’s house as part of ongoing investigations.
