Ramkarpal Singh has urged Attorney General Saifuddin Nasution to clarify the basis for an ongoing probe into three lawyers, while also demanding that Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail disclose which legal provisions underpin the investigation.
The former deputy law minister's intervention comes amid concerns about the scope and justification of the inquiry, which centres on the lawyers' involvement in a matter related to a custodial death.
Ramkarpal's call reflects growing scrutiny of the probe among legal circles and opposition figures, who have questioned whether the investigation adheres to proper procedures and legal grounds.
The request for transparency from both the Attorney General's office and the police force highlights ongoing tensions between the legal profession and law enforcement agencies over investigative practices and accountability.
No further details about the investigation or the three lawyers involved have been disclosed by authorities at this stage.
