The turn of events is sometimes so unpredictable that we get confused on what is right or wrong. At first IGP stood firm behind his men responsible for shooting dead a 15-year old boy Aminulrasyid. He threatened to call his crew off the street as he felt that the public was unfair towards the police force on that incident.
I guess due to increasing public uproars, the government set up a special panel to monitor the investigation of the incident. The panel had then urged the police to resolve some inconsistencies, among others, was the boy reversed his car in the way trying to knock down the police, and was there really a machete inside the car as allegedly told by the police?
And today, there is a new twist to the event, the policeman responsible for the shooting was charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court under Section 304 of the Penal Code for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The policeman faces a maximum jail term of 30 years if found guilty.
Why was the policeman charged if he was only carrying out his duty as told by the police big boss? Or at all, the whole episode involved some cover-up right from the beginning? I guess just like Athantuya case, somebody got prosecuted and that’s it, case closed, nobody know what actually happened.
