City official accused of crime

JAKARTA (JP): The chief of administration affairs at the City
Office of Public Records has been arrested for allegedly
falsifying the birth certificate of his son.

A city police detective for special crimes (Tipiter) who
requested anonymity identified the suspect as Ramadhan Sakhri,
54, who committed the crime when he was chief of the West Jakarta
Office of Public Records some years ago.

"Apparently, Ramadhan and his wife, Lisa, are separated and
battling over child custody. Lisa recently came to us and
reported that Ramadhan had falsified the birth certificate of her
son. We checked it out, and it turned out to be true," the
detective told reporters on Tuesday.

He said the police arrested the official on Friday last week
following the report.

The detective said that police were currently questioning
Ramadhan to find out the motive behind his misconduct. (ylt)
