KLANG: The defence team representing seven men who are charged with kidnapping a businesswoman will file an application for contempt against the prosecution and the police for defying a court order to allow the accused to make police reports over alleged beatings from the police and to get medical treatment.
Counsel Gobind Singh Deo, who spoke on behalf of fellow counsel Gerard Lazarus and Ayasamy Velu at the magistrates court here yesterday, also applied to magistrate Mujib Saroji to compel investigating officer C/Insp Azlan Ahmad to explain why the seven were denied access to medical treatment and to lodge police reports on the alleged beatings while under custody despite being ordered by the court last month.
