Speaking after being acquitted on an extortion charge in the Kajang Magistrate’s Court here today, Sanjeevan said in 2014, he had made a complaint against a spa located just 300m away from the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters.
“The person running the spa made one complaint against me and I was charged in court. But the outlet is still operating.
“I hope action is also taken against those who are involved in illegal activities,” he told FMT.
Sanjeevan had been charged with having the intent to commit extortion and putting fear into businessman Ong Lam Chin to hand over RM20,000 to him.
Ong was the owner of the spa in question.
Sanjeevan was alleged to have committed the offence at a restaurant in Taman TTDI in Kajang about 8pm on May 23 last year.
The prosecution had applied for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal on grounds that the complainant had withdrawn his complaint against Sanjeevan.
However, his counsel objected to this, stating that his client should be acquitted and the court agreed with this.
Today, Sanjeevan said he would continue to expose activities involving illegal gambling and prostitution dens to curb social problems created by these outlets.
“When those carrying out illegal activities are not afraid, why should a whistleblower like me be afraid?”
Although police claim MyWatch is not registered, Sanjeevan says he is still the chairman.
