PETALING JAYA — A woman police inspector from the Jempol police headquarters and MyWatch Malaysia president Datuk R. Sri Sanjeevan were caught in adjoining hotel rooms in Seremban early yesterday morning.

The duo were found in connected rooms during a joint raid by the Bukit Aman Integrity and Standard Compliance Department and the Negri Sembilan Department of Islamic Religious Affairs.

According to a source, the officers knocked on the doors of the two rooms at a four-star hotel at about 1.30am.

After 10-minutes, a fully-clothed woman, donning a hijab, opened the door to her room.

“She responded after they identified themselves as police and religious department personnel,” the source said.

Checks revealed the woman was an inspector attached to the Forensic Identification Centre at Jempol police district headquarters.

Officers then checked the adjoining room, where they were greeted by a fully-clothed Sanjeevan, who was alone.

“Officers inspected his room but did not find any women’s clothing,” the source said.

The duo were then brought to Dang Wangi police station to record their statements.

“Upon further investigations, the female officer admitted she had arranged a meeting with Sanjeevan at the hotel.

“She, however, denied they had been intimate,” the source said, adding they were released after their statements were recorded.

It is learnt the female officer was transferred to Kelantan with immediate effect.

Sanjeevan told Malay Mail he was not at the hotel to meet anyone.

“The officers were just doing their job. I was alone in my room and not doing anything wrong when the officers knocked on my door,” he said.

He said he felt they were quarters who were using dirty tactics to bring him down.

It was reported on Wednesday that Sanjeevan had received warnings from someone who told him that authorities were compelled to detain him over his expose of an alleged spa operating as a vice den near the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters.

Sanjeevan had reportedly also said “highly-connected” people were linked to the spa and wanted him to keep quiet.
