More than 10 police officers at the North Klang district police headquarters are under investigation over the death of a man in police custody.

North Klang police chief Mohd Yusoff Mamat said however, none of the police officers had been suspended as investigations were ongoing.

He said claims by certain quarters that there were bruises and injuries on the body of S Balamurugan, 44, should not arise until the autopsy report was released from the hospital.

"We are waiting for the results of the autopsy which is expected to be out next week," he told reporters after a meeting with Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) commissioner Mah Weng Kwai in Klang today.

Yesterday, Balamurugan's family lodged a police report over his death and requested a thorough investigation to identify the cause of death.
