heTangerang Police have arrested a man, identified only as AU, over an allegation that he produced and sold bogus Aqua-branded mineral water. The arrest was made following a tip-off by several local residents.

He said the suspect filled water containers with ordinary still water and then put an Aqua label on them, selling them at stores throughout the neighborhood. According to initial questioning, he went on, the suspect had been selling the fake mineral water for four months.
