Esha’s tragic death: police to hand over findings to prosecutors tomorrow

Authorities have identified three people accused of continuing to harass victim even after her death, following a report filed by her mother

KUALA LUMPUR – The investigation paper into several individuals who have been accused of threatening influencer Rajeswary Appahu prior to her death will be submitted to the prosecution tomorrow.

Sentul police chief Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zahari said police have also identified three people believed to have insulted Rajeswary even after her death, following a report lodged by her mother, R. Pushpa, on Friday at the Gombak police station.

“We will be taking statements from these three individuals,” he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Pushpa had said the string of online bullying has not stopped since her daughter’s death, despite warnings issued by national leaders and police.

She claimed the individuals behind these livestreams included controversial preacher Zamri Vinoth and policewoman Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, also known as Inspector Sheila.

During a recent TikTok livestream, Zamri tried refuting his alleged role in the cyberbullying of Rajeswary.

So far, the authorities have recorded statements from 11 people during the course of the investigation.

The remand period for a 44-year-old lorry driver has been extended to July 16.

The man was detained at 6.30pm on July 10 in Setapak.

As for a local 35-year-old woman who was detained earlier, she was released when her remand period ended on Friday.

Both were suspected of threatening Rajeswary, known as Esha, and also using abusive and obscene language on TikTok.

The influencer was found dead in her home on July 5, reportedly after facing a month of online bullying.

Authorities confirmed that two TikTok accounts were involved in making vulgar and threatening remarks towards her – @dulal_brotherss and @alphaquinnsha.

Before her death, Rajeswary lodged a report at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters, detailing the violent threats made against her.  

She reported that a TikTok account with the handle @dulal_brotherss hosted a livestream on June 30 with around 700 viewers, during which participants made rape and death threats against her. – July 14, 2024
