When Gopal the suspected car thief who was in police custody found dead, controversy was flooded all over his dead body. Why was he killed? Who killed him? Was this classified murder case was not supposed to happen? That and thousands of other questions were fired to the police department where Gopal was arrested. Main focus was, since when the accused and suspected criminal was given that much highlight? Why is what we were trying to figure out.
For me, yes it is true that Gopal was in custody and his safety was supposed to be protected by the police but, what need to be noted was Gopal was not the only prisoner in the prison cell. There were others that consist of five accused that belong to a gangster cluster. Sorry to say but how nice can they be? Plus, Gopal was known to reveal the place where the stolen car was hiding to the police. If you were the gangster and Gopal might reveal other things that he knew to save his own life, what would you do? If it was me, I will be quite pissed.
Except for that, this case was being exaggerated due to the fact the dead was an Indian custody and the police was Malay. How come the racist issues can even be upraised in the situation? We are the Malaysian, not to be count whether you are Malay, Indian or Chinese or whatsoever, as long as you did wrong you will be punished. This racist issue for me is very unethical and just a way for the third party trying to fire the flame.
Talking about the third party, it was quite amusing when out of nowhere Gopal’ case was being politicized by the opposition party. Why we must interfere with an ongoing investigation? The police knew what they were doing, it was their duty. This irresponsible third paty was not being fair to the family, leading them to the road that will just make their son’s lost even more hurtful.
As to conclude, whether Gopal’s death is needed to be blame on somebody or not, let the authorities finished their job. We got the law and us as Malaysian need to put trust on them. Do not make things worse than it already was, rather than protesting without purposed, go pray that everything will be alright .
