In Putrajaya, a canopy supplier who had been sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to be whipped for firearms trafficking walked free on Friday (Dec 2) after winning his appeal. Justice Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said, leading the Court of Appeal panel, stated that T. Jegan’s appeal had merit and that his conviction was not secure. Jegan, imprisoned since 2015, was accused of trafficking three pistols and a revolver, along with possessing 69 rounds of ammunition in Kajang, Selangor. The High Court had previously convicted him, but the Court of Appeal overturned the decision, leading to his release. Dato Geethan Ram Vincent was assisted by counsel Revin Kumar.
