KUALA LUMPUR: Segambut Member of Parliament Lim Lip Eng is demanding an apology from Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar for the alleged "torture" he and several Bandar Mahkota Cheras residents were put through on May 8, at the Grand Saga demonstration, over an access road closure.

He claimed several residents were treated brutally when they were arrested for protesting.

Lim planned to sue the force over the incident unless Khalid apologised.

He claimed that he too was assaulted by plainclothes policemen while trying to prevent the Federal Reserve Unit personnel from using water cannon to disperse the crowd at Bandar Mahkota Cheras.
