Instead, Sentul police chief Sukarno Zahari said, the matter had been referred to the immigration department since it directly involved them.
“The police have classified the case as RoA, or referred to other agencies, specifically to the immigration department, as the complainant is dissatisfied over damage sustained during a raid by immigration officers,” he told FMT.
