KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 (Bernama) -- Police have tracked private investigator P.
Balasubramaniam's whereabout and recorded his statement in connection with his
statutory declarations as well as his disappearance from the country.
Bukit Aman CID Chief Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said Balasubramaniam, who was
reported missing since Friday, was currenty abroad and a team of police officers
had been dispatched there to record his statement.
He declined to reveal which country Balasubramaniam was currently in.
"We have sent several officers there to record his statement. He is still
abroad," he told Bernama when contacted.
Mohd Bakri said the police got hold of Balasubramaniam whereabout following
information provided by the authorities there.
He also declined to say when was it that the police came to know of
Balasubramaniam's whereabout.
"There is not need to know when. The important thing is our officers are already
there to record his statement," he said.
Mohd Bakri also said the police needed some time to investigate the matter.
"Give us rooms to carry out the investigations without having to put up with
unnecessary pressure," he said, adding that the police would investigate the
matter in a transparent and professional manner.
Balasubramaniam made headlines a week ago when he came up with a statutory
declaration, alleging Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's involvement with Mongolian
Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Balasubramaniam however issued another statutory declaration on July 3 to
retract all statements he made against Najib in the earlier declaration dated
July 1.
