The 26-year-old accused, at one point even bowed at the edge of the dock as his father V. Maria Dass, 55, stood up to explain to the court the reasons why he refused to post bail. Judge S. Indra Nehru postponed the proceedings temporarily to give time to both father and son to solve their problem. After the proceedings resumed, the accused wept and begged his father to post RM3,000 bail, forcing the police to take him out of the court. He was charged under Section 395 of the Penal Code which carries maximum 20 years imprisonment and whipping, if convicted, for a gang robbery in Buntong on June 8 about 12.30am.
