Court awards RM440,200 to Dharmendran's widow in custodial death civil case

In his decision, High Court judge Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim ordered all 11 defendants in the case to make the payment.

The remaining defendants are the Inspector-General of Police, former Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Department chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah, four other high ranking police officers at the time comprising of Datuk Seri Mohmad Salleh, A/ACP Yahya Abd Rahman, A/SAC Khairi Ahrasa and Supt Glenn Anthony Sinappiah, and the Malaysian government.

Ahmad Zaidi also noted that the plaintiff's sixth witness M. Balachantar, who was detained in the same lock-up where Dharmendran was being questioned by the first four defendants, had testified that apart from being assaulted, the deceased was also forced to eat 'cili padi'. The judge also found that the fifth to the eight defendants had conspired to support their colleagues by mounting a defence which was untruthful.
