(The Edge) - Batu MP Tian Chua said he was puzzled why the police and attorney-general had not acted on missing private investigator P Balasubramaniam's case in light of his recent allegations in connection with the Altantuya Shariibuu murder.
Having posed his questions earlier this year, Chua today again asked why Balasubramaniam had been allowed to cross the country's borders freely and why the lack of formal charges against him.
"I was told that the police had concluded the investigation and are awaiting further instructions from the attorney-general," he said at a press conference in the parliament lobby. Eight months on, the authorities were still silent on the matter, he added.
According to Chua, the police claimed that they were unaware of Balasubramaniam's whereabouts, even after a video recording of him in Bangkok surfaced earlier this year.
Balasubramaniam had alleged in a recent YouTube video that he had been asked to retract his first statutory allegation in exchange for RM5 million. He claimed that the police had acted as middlemen, setting him up with a man only known as Deepak, a carpet trader, and his younger brother Dinesh.
Deepak had offered him the sum of money in return for the retraction of his first statutory declaration, according to Balasubramaniam.
