Police ground commander during the Bersih 3.0 rally in April told Suhakam public inquiry that police personnel who were alleged to have beaten participants had defied orders.
ACP Mohamad Zulkarnain Abd Rahman testified that there were no instructions during the briefing prior to the rally to beat up participants, to block the media from doing their job or for them to remove their name tags.ACP Mohamad Zulkarnain also told the inquiry that communications were jammed up at Dataran Merdeka from 2.45pm to 6pm and that he had to manually communicate with those at Dataran Merdeka, adding that there was no communication with other areas at one point.
Asked by Bersih lawyer Daniel Albert over the video clips they presented which showed police personnel allegedly beating up participants, ACP Mohamad Zulkarnain said he did not personally witness police assaulting participants or members of the media or see injuries sustained.
He also denied that he had given instructions for police to assault the participants at 6.30pm so that they would disperse.
The 19th day of the inquiry also saw both Bersih and the police observers claiming that each other’s video clips on the rally were edited multiple times.
LA:Don't blame police,they just doing their job.
