PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The family of lorry driver P. Chandran will receive a sum of RM357,500 in damages over his death in police custody in 2012 after his medical needs were not attended to.
This was despite the Federal Court seven-member bench allowing the appeal (by a 6-1 majority) by the police and government on a point of law that the family of the deceased was not entitled to receive exemplary damages for his death while in police custody.
