On April 5, 2026, a security guard named G. Anand was allegedly beaten to death by a drunk man using a car steering lock after confronting him about drinking. According to North Klang Police Chief S. Vijaya Rao, the incident occurred around 1 a.m. in a residential area of Bandar Bukit Raja, Klang.
The incident began when Anand approached a group of people who were drinking in the neighborhood. His supervisor, D. Viswa, stated that initially, when Anand approached the group, the suspect, who was intoxicated, shouted at him. A friend of the suspect advised Anand to return to his guardhouse because the suspect was very drunk. However, the intoxicated suspect eventually went back to the guardhouse with a car steering lock and used it to strike Anand, resulting in severe injuries. Later, Anand was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:18 a.m.
Following the incident, police tracked down and arrested the suspect, seizing the car steering lock believed to have been used in the attack.
