Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force (MyWatch) chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan has been detained again by the police.

This time, his offence is for the alleged use of fake academic qualifications aimed at cheating.

The arrest was confirmed by Bukit Aman Commercial Crime CID director Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani when contacted by Bernama last night.

Acryl Sani said a team from Bukit Aman picked up Sanjeevan in Medan Damansara at 6.15pm yesterday.

“He had allegedly convinced a company director by claiming that he possessed two degrees from two universities in the United States, and the victim then offered a consultant post to the suspect for the purpose of bringing business to his (the victim’s) company.

“Sanjeevan will be charged in court tomorrow (today), under Section 417 and Section 420 of the Penal Code,” he said.
