KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 — Just days after returning home for recuperation from a bullet wound, anti-crime activist R. Sanjeevan returned to Twitter today with claims of more threats on his life and accusations against the police for refusing him protection.
Without offering details, the 29-year-old bachelor who was just discharged from the Serdang Hospital last Saturday said that masked men had come to his house where he is staying now to recover from a life-saving surgery.
“Now, I’m focusing on recovering as well as my family’s safety as many unwanted things are happening. Many trying to silence me!”
“@PDRMsia refused to give protection to my house despite people wearing masks coming to my house & it’s really scary. @anwaribrahim,” he wrote on his Twitter, tagging Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the posting.
Sanjeevan, a hotel executive, came into the public eye recently with allegations of corruption within the police top brass.
He was shot at close range on July 27 near his hometown in Bahau, Negri Sembilan after taking to Twitter where he hinted to having proof to link an unnamed senior policeman to underworld figures.
Hours before his shooting, Sanjeevan had tweeted: “A @PDRMsia cop told some syndicate fellow that he’ll get them firearm & told them to fire few shots at my house to scare me/family!”
He was rushed to the district hospital in Jempol immediately after the shooting, and later transferred to the Seremban general hospital before being moved to Serdang Hospital for surgery to remove the bullet that had lodged in his chest some 18 days after being shot.
Doctors had warned Ramakrishnan that Sanjeevan had suffered a certain degree of trauma which could cause him to have memory lapses after he fell into a 10-day long coma, according to past news reports by The Star daily.
Police have yet to make any arrests over Sanjeevan’s shooting.
