KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 — The case involving a government servant working in the Treasury in Putrajaya who was found dead in the office with his neck and feet bound with cable ties will only be reclassified if criminal element is found.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Rusdi Mohd Isa said the case remains under investigation for sudden death — usually reserved for case of suicide — for the time being.
“If there are statements pointing towards any act of crime, the case will be reclassified,” he told reporters when contacted.
