Kugan’s case: Constable walks free


PETALING JAYA: The Sessions Court here today ruled that Contable V Navindran be discharged and acquitted from facing charges of causing grievous hurt to suspected car thief A Kugan two years ago.

Justice Aslam Zainuddin said that Navindran was not required to enter his defence at the end of the prosecution case this morning.

Navindran, 28, faced two counts of causing grievous hurt to Kugan, 23, at the D9 interrogation room at the Taipan police station, Subang Jaya, at 7am on Jan 16, 2009, offences which carry a maximum 10 years jail and a fine on conviction.

Kugan was detained on Jan 14, 2009 and died in police custody six days later.

Navindran also faced two alternative charges of causing hurt to Kugan at the same place and time, which carry a maximum seven years jail and a fine on conviction.

Earlier in the trial, witnesses have testified that Navindran had beaten Kugan with a rubber hose even when it was not his turn to interrogate the suspect.

The decision today is not expected to sit down well with Kugan’s family members who want those responsible to his death to be punished.
