The police chief said he would follow up on the allegation, but added that Novel must reveal the name of the high-ranking police official he referred to and show evidence to support his claim.
“That’s what is important. Name the person, and where’s the evidence?” Tito said as quoted by kompas.com on Friday.
In an interview with TIME magazine, Novel claimed he had received information that “a police general – a high-level police official – was involved” in the attack. Tito said the police would be transparent in investigating Novel’s claim.
“But if there is no evidence to support his claim, then certainly I deplore [his statement] because it tarnished the image of the police,” he said. (ary)
