The video with Deepak’s explosive revelation has since been taken down.
The police might haul up businessman Deepak Jaikishan for questioning in relation to a video in which the latter alleged former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to have been involved in the murder of Mongolian model, Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said his ministry will take action if there is new evidence or information from the video.
“I’ve watched the viral video on the Altantuya issue and the new statements made by Deepak tying the case to Pekan (Najib) and his wife.
“At the ministry’s level, we will take action if there is new evidence or information which has a basis in truth. We might call Deepak in first to give an open statement or a statutory declaration, I don’t know (yet),” he said yesterday during his winding-up speech on the Midterm Review of the 11th Malaysia Plan (RMK11).
He gave affirmation that the police will investigate and take action against those named in Deepak’s statement.
Muhyiddin was responding to questions raised by Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh yesterday who wanted the cops to bring in Rosmah and Najib for further questioning.
The video in question with Deepak’s explosive confession in an interview has since been taken down.
Ramkarpal said what Deepak brought up in the interview was important to the case as it could pinpoint the motive behind the murder of the Mongolian model.
On Monday (Oct 29), Ramkarpal had also highlighted the same issue at the Dewan Rakyat, stating Deepak had linked the Pekan MP and his wife to the murder.
“This is important because it happened more than 10 years ago. Are the police so incompetent that they cannot investigate and determine who ordered the murder?”
Ramkarpal said appropriate action should be taken so that it was in keeping with “the rule of law” constantly stressed by the Pakatan Harapan government.
