The Yogyakarta Police have delayed the arrest of controversial blue energy creator Joko Suprapto after he fell ill.

The Yogyakarta Police Special Crime Unit head Comr. Teguh Wahono said his team went to Joko's residence in Nganjuk, East Java on Wednesday to arrest him, but canceled the plan when they found out Joko was sick.

"An independent doctor said Joko suffered a heart disease and suggested him rest for three days. We will pick him up after he recovers." he said.

Joko was reported to the police by the University of Muhammadiyah, Yogyakarta, for deceiving the university on an electricity power plant so called Jodi Pati.

The university claims it suffered a loss of Rp 1.3 billion from the deception.

Joko has also claimed to invent an innovation that could change water into fuel so called blue energy. (***)
