Kugan’s body arrives at police station

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 28 — A huge crowd of several hundred people accompanied A. Kugan's funeral procession as it arrived at the USJ 8 police station from the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) under the watchful eyes of the police.

Prayers will be conducted at the police station before final rites at the Puchong Batu 14 crematorium this evening.

Earlier police provided an escort for the procession that began at 1.45pm. Most of the crowd started on foot but later followed the procession in vehicles, with some telling the police "Polis bagi escort" while others blasted the police, shouting "Polis pembunuh Kugan".

Police had earlier arrested five men wearing Hindraf T-shirts as they threw a tight cordon around the medical centre for the suspected car thief's funeral. They only allowed some 50 people, including family and several lawmakers, to claim Kugan's body. [read more]
