At the end of his three-hour session with the ACA, Anwar said that he was happy with the meeting.

He said that he briefed the ACA officers on what had transpired during the ‘black eye' incident.

He said that he stressed to them that the same pattern was emerging again 10 years on.

Anwar also reiterated that he was asked to strip naked while undergoing a medical check-up last week following his arrest.

"I was also asked to fill in a form usually filled in by rape victims. I am not sure why they wanted that," he said.

He also denied politicising the issue of him being stripped naked, instead blaming the BN politicians of making an issue out if it.

Assaulted by top cop 

Anwar was questioned for two hours last Wednesday before being arrested while on his way home, an hour before his 2pm appointment with the police on sodomy allegations against him.

He was released on police bail the next day.

The ACA is investigating the July 1 police report filed by Anwar accusing inspector-general of police Musa Hassan and attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail of fabricating evidence in his trials 10 years ago.

When Anwar was arrested on Sept 20, 1998, he was taken to the Bukit Aman federal police headquarters where the former deputy premier was beaten by then police chief Abdul Rahim Noor, resulting in a black eye and injuries to other parts of his body.

At that time, Musa was the investigating officer of the charges against Anwar while Gani was the chief prosecutor.

Anwar wants fresh investigations

Anwar said that the original medical reports done by a number of doctors were ignored.

"The medical reports concluded that the injury inflicted on me was consistent with an assault," he added in his police report.

However, Anwar claimed that instead of accepting the reports and prosecuting his assailant, then attorney-general Mokhtar Abdullah - in collusion with Gani - asked another doctor, Dr Abdul Rahman Yusof, to allegedly fabricate a second medical report.

"I believe both Musa and Gani Patail were actively involved in the procuring of the second undated report by Dr Rahman," he said.

Anwar called for a fresh investigation into the alleged fabrication of evidence, which is an offence punishable by up to seven years' imprisonment.

The ACA has stepped in to investigate the allegation as both the police and attorney-general's chambers are implicated in the matter.

Both Musa and Gani were questioned by the ACA on July 1.
