Cikeas Octopus author: My hand, book did not touch Ramadhan

A- A A+

Author George Junus Aditjondro denied Wednesday he had hit Democrat Party official Ramadhan Pohan at a discussion about his book titled Unmasking the Cikeas Octopus: Behind the Bank Century Scandal.

George said he just wanted to stop Ramadhan's misconceptions about the book.

"My hand did not touch him, neither did my book," George said as quoted by kompas.com.

TVOne showed George looking angry when Ramadhan said something at the book discussion held at the Doekoen Coffee café in Jakarta. Unexpectedly, George tried to use his hand and his book to punch Ramadhan in the face.
