Families worry about missing sons

What say you on the issue below?

Five distraught families who are frantically on the lookout for their sons had a sorrowful festival of lights this year.

Their sons went missing seven months ago and the whereabouts of the five are unknown.

Three cousins, Dilipan Palanivel, 21, Madhan Nadarajah, 27, and Jeyasingam Gopal, 32, and two friends, Gobi Krishna Ramasamy, 27, Ari Kumar Manyam, 27, were last seen having tea in Seri Kembangan.

Worried sick: Family members of the five missing men looking at a poster of the five after a press conference in Puchong on the unresolved missing persons’ case.

The incident took place on April 4 this year, between 7pm and 8pm in the carpark of Jaya Jusco where the five were believed to have been abducted. Ari’s wife received a call two days after the incident from the kidnappers asking for RM1mil, but the caller could not be identified.

Sources said the five were taken by a group of 15 who identified themselves as police officers from the Bukit Aman Narcotics Department.

They were handcuffed and taken in three separate cars.

Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo said: “We have sent a memorandum to the Prime Minister, Home Affairs Minister and MIC to look into this issue,” he said in a press conference recently.
