SHAH ALAM – Three elements will be looked into in the case of an alleged death of a man at the Kuala Langat district police headquarters (IPD) in Banting last Monday.

Selangor Criminal Investigation Department chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said these elements are duty of care, foul play and standard operating procedure (SOP) compliance.

Nik Ezanee said he has instructed the district Criminal Investigation Department to open an investigation paper on the case.

“So far, police have classified the case as sudden death and a report was lodged by the deceased’s wife,” he said today.

It was earlier reported that the deceased’s wife, a mother of five, is searching for answers into the death of her husband, K. Vinaiyagar, at the Kuala Langat IPD lock-up in Banting on Monday.

On another matter, Nik Ezanee said the mastermind behind a number of illegal activities known as “Datuk Ken” will face three charges at the Selayang court at 9.30am tomorrow.

He said the charges against the 40-year-old were made under Section 4(1)(a) of the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953 while his wife, aged 41, will also be charged under the same section of the Act.

It had been reported that police busted the syndicate following the arrest of 15 locals around Rawang, Gombak, in a special operation on July  6 and August 11.

The police investigation found that the man had been carrying out illegal activities, including online gambling, bitcoin mining and money lending (Ah Long) since 2014. – Bernama, September 16, 2021
