IGP, AG, Homo Minister… RESIGN or be BOOED & BOOTED OUT!
A woman has disputed the official account of her brother's death, who died in police custody at the Sentul police station on July 16.
According to the police, R Gunasegaran, 31, had died from a drug abuse.

His sister, R Ganga Gowri, 32 (right), disagreed with this version in her police report today in which she alleged that he may have died after being assaulted.
This was claimed by three witnesses who were said to be detained in the same lockup with Gunasegaran, she stated in her police report.
In view of this, Ganga Gowri is urging the authorities to perform a thorough and transparent investigation into the allegations.
She is also demanding that hospital authorities release the autopsy report if there is one, and for the police to initiate an inquest.
She was speaking at a press conference, organised by lawyer Haris Ibrahim and attended by six other lawyers.
"These (witnesses) are very afraid. They do not wish the authorities breathing down on them and shall remain anonymous.
"Should there be a transparent inquest, I have been given assurances that these people will surface," said Ganga Gowri's counsel M Visvanathan.
Visvanathan, said the witnesses alleged that Gunasegaran died within two to three hours of his arrest at about 7.30pm.
He added that the witnesses said that Gunasegaran was kicked in the chest, hit with a hose and a piece of wood.
However, Ganga Gowri had not examined the body for wounds, which is still at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital mortuary.
