KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Allegations of police misconduct against individuals detained on suspicion of involvement in the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are baseless and irresponsible, says Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador (pic). "I strongly deny all the public allegations of unlawful act or misconduct by our police officers against any of the LTTE detainees made by their lawyers and certain politicians. "I stand firm on the explanation given by my officers that the allegations are completely baseless and very irresponsible," he said in a statement to Bernama here Saturday (Nov 2). Earlier Saturday, Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin denied the allegations, saying that he had already checked on the allegations with Abdul Hamid and officers involved, and found that the allegations were untrue. "All quarters should respect the legal process and not make baseless allegations in public," he said, adding that he had also referred the matter to the Attorney General and now awaiting instruction for further action.
