Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department deputy director (prosecution and legal) Mior Farid Al Athrash said the shooting, which saw three men killed, is under investigation.

He added that the police would propose to Attorney-General (AG) Tommy Thomas that an inquest be held.

This comes amid conflicting versions of the incident which saw P Uthayakumar, the lawyer representing the families of the men, urging police to release video footage from the dashboard camera of the patrol car involved in the shooting.

“In the inquest, all statements will be revealed,” Mior said in a press conference here.

“Wait for the inquest. All this (alleged dashcam footage) is part of the investigation,” he added when asked about Uthayakumar’s request.

“It will be brought to court and revealed, so everyone will have the right to view the video if it exists.”

The Cabinet has also asked the AG to look into the possibility of conducting an inquest.

The shootout on Sept 14 occurred when a police patrol ordered a car carrying the three men – Sri Lankan national Janarthanan Vijayaratnam, his brother-in-law Thavaselvan and Maghendran Santhirasegaran – to pull over at Bandar Country Homes.

Police claimed the men refused to stop when they were ordered to pull over, and that a 7km chase ensued which ended in Batu Arang.

Family members say Janarthanan’s wife, Moganambal, was also in the car at the time of the incident and is now missing.

However, Selangor police chief Noor Azam Jamaluddin denied this, saying there were only three men and no woman in the car.

Police also said Thavaselvan and Maghendran were wanted for gang-related crimes. Janarthanan, meanwhile, was a British permanent resident whom police said had overstayed his Malaysian visa. Both these claims have been challenged by Uthayakumar.
