The NGO Eliminating Deaths and Abuse in Custody (Edict) demanded an explanation from the police and Immigration Department over how the authorities misidentified a Nepali man who died in the Jinjang lockup on May 31.

KL police previously said that 37-year-old 'Dhan Bahdur' was found dead in his cell five days after he was remanded.

The Nepali embassy later stated that the real Dhan Bhadur had left Malaysia in 2018, and was alive in Nepal.
