The National Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) said it is currently investigating the deaths of an unidentified Nepalese male as well as those of Surendran Shanker, S Sivabalan, and Roopan Karnagaran, all of whom died while in custody.

“Many Malaysians in the last few weeks have seen many reports of deaths in custody and I think Suhakam supports the call by many NGOs and lawyers that for every death of custody, there should be an inquest to ascertain what happened and why this person died in custody.
