Kugan, 22, died on Jan 20 at the USJ 8 police station, five days after he was detained while being interrogated by the police. Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar reportedly said that Kugan collapsed after he asked for a glass of water when questioned by a police officer. A post-mortem report later indicated that the suspect had died due to fluid in his lungs. Kugan’s family members who were unsatisfied with the police’s explanation stormed the Serdang Hospital mortuary and took pictures of his body to prove their claim of torture by the police. The family had also requested for a second post-mortem and the request had been granted by the authorities.
