PETALING JAYA: Lawyer Datuk Hasnal Rezua Merican has denied Sirul Azhar Umar's claims that he instructed the former police commando to make a video exonerating a top leader of any involvement in the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Sirul had claimed that his lawyer ordered him to make the video in 2016, where he said former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak had no links to the Mongolian model.
