PETALING JAYA — A woman police inspector from the Jempol police headquarters and MyWatch Malaysia president Datuk R. Sri Sanjeevan were caught in adjoining hotel rooms in Seremban early yesterday morning.

The duo were found in connected rooms during a joint raid by the Bukit Aman Integrity and Standard Compliance Department and the Negri Sembilan Department of Islamic Religious Affairs.

According to a source, the officers knocked on the doors of the two rooms at a four-star hotel at about 1.30am.

After 10-minutes, a fully-clothed woman, donning a hijab, opened the door to her room.

“She responded after they identified themselves as police and religious department personnel,” the source said.

Checks revealed the woman was an inspector attached to the Forensic Identification Centre at Jempol police district headquarters.

Officers then checked the adjoining room, where they were greeted by a fully-clothed Sanjeevan, who was alone.

“Officers inspected his room but did not find any women’s clothing,” the source said.

The duo were then brought to Dang Wangi police station to record their statements.

“Upon further investigations, the female officer admitted she had arranged a meeting with Sanjeevan at the hotel.

“She, however, denied they had been intimate,” the source said, adding they were released after their statements were recorded.

It is learnt the female officer was transferred to Kelantan with immediate effect.

Sanjeevan told Malay Mail he was not at the hotel to meet anyone.

“The officers were just doing their job. I was alone in my room and not doing anything wrong when the officers knocked on my door,” he said.

He said he felt they were quarters who were using dirty tactics to bring him down.

It was reported on Wednesday that Sanjeevan had received warnings from someone who told him that authorities were compelled to detain him over his expose of an alleged spa operating as a vice den near the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters.

Sanjeevan had reportedly also said “highly-connected” people were linked to the spa and wanted him to keep quiet.




MyWatch chairman says viral text message of him being the target of a khalwat raid was an attempt to tarnish his reputation.



PETALING JAYA: MyWatch chairman Sanjeevan R has denied ever meeting a policewoman, as claimed in a viral text message about a khalwat raid in Seremban.

Speaking to FMT, Sanjeevan confirmed that when he was staying at a hotel in Seremban, the authorities conducted a khalwat raid there at 1.30am today.

They went to his room but found nothing amiss.

In the viral text, it was claimed that the joint raid by the Negeri Sembilan religious authorities and a police team from Bukit Aman led them to two adjoining rooms.

In the first room, it was alleged that the lone occupant emerged after 10 minutes. She was a fully-clothed policewoman.

The viral text said authorities did not find any male clothing in her room.

In the next room, the alleged occupant was Sanjeevan. The authorities did not find any female clothing in his room.

It was further alleged that the policewoman admitted to meeting Sanjeevan, but no intimate relations took place.

Sanjeevan said the part about the policewoman admitting to meeting him was a “blatant lie”.

He said he had never met the policewoman on that day and had only seen her before at some events.

Furthermore, he said he could not be held responsible for what happened in the adjoining room.

“What happens if there is a female minister staying in the adjoining room? Will people say that I am having intimate relations with her?”

Sanjeevan said that the spreading of the message was a clear attempt at tarnishing his reputation.

“First, it was Prevention of Crime Act (Poca), now it is khalwat. I won’t be surprised if tomorrow it is liwat (sodomy).”

He said after all, in Malaysia, the most common ways to tarnish a person’s reputation was to link them to corruption, crime or sexual acts.

Yesterday, an FMT report said Sanjeevan would not flee the country and was prepared for the worst amid speculation that he could face action under Poca.

Sanjeevan had said he had been warned by an unknown man last week that he could be detained by the authorities over his expose of an alleged spa which he claimed doubled up as a vice den near the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters.
