Terror at Brickfields restaurant
A group of men claiming to be Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) supporters helped themselves to a hearty meal at a restaurant in Brickfields on two consecutive days and left without paying.
The men destroyed furniture and kitchen equipment, causing losses amounting to RM5,000.
The restaurant owner, who declined to be named, said the men claimed to be Hindraf supporters, became aggressive and refused to pay the bill.
Manager R. Velokrishnan, 44, said in his police report that he had not identified Hindraf members as those behind the attacks.
"In our police report, we did not mention Hindraf at all and we did not call the media yesterday (on Tuesday). We don't know from where they got the information," Bernama quoted him as saying at a press conference at the restaurant Wednesday.
A case of misreporting? Misinterpretation? Overzealous finger-pointing? The cops said they will investigate the matter.
