The head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Menteng Sector Police, Commissioner Gozali Luhulima, said that the incident occurred on Wednesday (11/4/2020) yesterday afternoon.
However, the police only supervised and took no action because no criminal element was being committed.
“There is no element of criminal act because they bought, did not loot or sweeping. If we take action because it disrupts public order, we cannot, because the fire was in his own office, ”Gozali said.
