It might not take away the pain and trauma he received, but at least Shahril Azlan Ahmad Kamil can walk away with RM30,000 for his troubles.
The 30-year old container equipment operator received what justice he could when Shah Alam judge Hanipah Farikullah stated in her judgment today that it was not right for a police officer to have fired rounds from his service pistol at Shahril, when the officer’s life was not in danger.
The Star Online‘s M Mageswari reports that Hanipah awarded Shahril RM30,000 in court costs, with damages to be assessed at a later date.
Shahril’s case stemmed from an incident on April 16, 2009, when he was shot by the police when passing through a roadblock with a friend en route from Section 7 Shah Alam to Rantau Panjang, Klang.
