P. Kalimuthu height - How tall is P. Kalimuthu?

Kalimuthu was known for his hot temper. On 12 June 1993, he attended a family function without being invited. A commotion arose between his accomplices and the guests, and Kalimuthu killed some of the guests in the commotion.

Police intelligence tracked Kalimuthu to his hideout in a double-storey terraced house in Medan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur on 29 June 1993. At the break of dawn, an elite team of police officers from the Special Operations Command from Bukit Aman took positions and surrounded the house. Kalimuthu and his accomplices engaged the officers in a firefight. He was shot in the head and killed; his accomplices also died in the fight.

In 1991, Kalimuthu resurfaced, committing a string of murders. It was reported that Kalimuthu was killing for the sake of killing, causing police to launch a special operation called 'Ops Buncit' in June 1993. 'Ops Buncit' was joined by 200 police personnel, including those from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Pahang, who were massively mobilized to hunt down Kalimuthu.

Kalimuthu's criminal career started early in his childhood. He was arrested at the age of 14, and imprisoned until being released at the age of 19. He later joined a Chinese triad called 'Gang 04' in Bentong, Pahang. Kalimuthu was active around the capital in Brickfields, Segambut, Sungei Way and Ampang. He was arrested again in July 1985 under the Emergency Ordinance proclamation and jailed at Jerejak Island, Penang, but was released soon after in 1987. He was placed under limited residence restrictions in Kuantan, Pahang.

'Gang 04' groups were actively involved in trafficking drugs, and for the offense Kalimuthu was arrested again in April 1980 and charged under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. However, he was released when there was not enough evidence to convict him. For the second time, he was placed under house arrest in Gopeng, Perak, for two years. Kalimuthu then disappeared in November 1984.
