‘My son was forced to drink poison’

Difficult time: Chong consoling Pravin’s parents Selvaraja and R. Devani, 45, when he went to pay his respects at their home in Nilai.

NILAI: M. Selvaraja will live with regret for not believing his son’s story that he was attacked by glue-sniffing schoolboys and forced to drink poison.

Selvaraja, 51, who is a rubber tapper, said he was at home when his son S. Pravin, 15, came home drenched last Wednesday.
