Najib: I know nothing about "it" while Bala & family have gone missing

Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak has denied speculations that he was behind the retraction of private investigator P Balasubramaniam’s first statutory declaration (SD) which had linked him with a murdered Mongolian woman, Malaysiakini reports.

“I have no knowledge of anything. I know nothing about him,” the deputy Prime Minister told reporters when asked on the matter in Pekan today.

In the first SD made public on Thursday, Balasubramaniam claimed he was told that Najib had a sexual relationship with the woman and that the DPM had introduced the Mongolian to his aide, Abdul Razak Baginda.

However, the private eye retracted all parts linking Najib to the woman in his second SD made the following day.

In the meantime, it is learned that Bala and his family (his wife and three children) had ‘gone missing’ and that his cousin was contemplating filing a ‘missing person’ report with the police. (source Malaysiakini - Desperately seeking Bala and family)

In the latest twist to the scandal, the private investigator's nephew R Kumaresan today lodged a police report over the disappearance of his uncle, aunt and their children.

Kumaresan, who was accompanied by a lawyer, lodged the ‘missing person' report at the Brickfields police station at 5pm.

He said he was worried that his uncle, aunt and their three young children have gone missing and been un-contactable since Friday morning which is "highly unusual."

Kumaresan, 27, who is Balasubramiam's late sister's son said he and his uncle's family are very close and contact each other almost on a daily basis.

He said he last spoke to his aunt, S. Sentamil, (Balasubramaniam's wife) on Thursday after the private eye had released his first statutory declaration at the PKR headquarters.

However almost immediately after his uncle issued the second statutory declaration in which he retracted the first one(linking Najib to Altantulya) , Kumaresan said he tried to reach his uncle and aunt many times but they did not pick up his calls. (Read here)

It was reported that Balasubramaniam was contacted by the police soon after the first press conference on Thursday when he produced his first SD. He was dropped off at the Brickfields police station at 4.45pm by his lawyer A. Sidhu. That was the last time the lawyer saw him.
