But he said that on the day of the murder, he was having a function at a nightclub he was working at. Despite having no records of entering Penang for eight months, he was extradited to Malaysia for further investigation, he said., Mohan alleged that he was held under the custody of the Singapore police without legal representation for 48 hours since his arrest on March 21, 2015, without his statement recorded or taken down by an investigating officer.
Following this, the Malaysian police conducted an operation and arrested three gang members in a residential unit in Johor Baru that was rented by Mohan. The Malaysian warrant of arrest was endorsed by a magistrate in Singapore and was executed on the same day, the SPF said. “This arrangement has enabled Singapore’s law enforcement authorities to secure the return of many criminals who had fled to Malaysia after committing offences in Singapore.”
