ANOTHER three men were charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court today with being part of an organised crime group known as Sakai Gang between January 2015 and June 2021. 

Sukhdave Singh Jesvir Singh, 20, R. Logeswaran, 23, and A. Jayaprakash, 18, nodded to indicate they understood the charge after it was read out to them before judge M.M. Edwin Paramjothy.

No plea was recorded from all the accused as they were arrested under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) and cases under Sosma are heard at the high court.

According to the charge, they allegedly became members of the Sakai Gang at the Sri Selangor flats between January 2015 and June 2021.

They are charged under Section 130V (1) of the Penal Code, which provides for a jail term of up to 20 years.

The prosecution team comprised deputy public prosecutors Mohd Farhan Aliff Ahmad, Nur Ainaa Ridzwan, Maryam Jamielah Manaff and Rajdeep Singh Bhupinder Singh while Logeswaran was represented by R. Kirthiraj. The other two were unrepresented.

The court then allowed the prosecution’s application to transfer the case of the three accused and the case of 19 men, including Rosli Sahak (believed to be the leader of the group named Sakai), who were previously charged with the same offence to the high court. – Bernama, August 17, 2021.
