Civilian police sued over attack

PEKANBARU, Riau: Members of the Civilian Police (Satpol) with the Riau administration have been reported to the local police for attacking a public servant.

Raja Sapeloras, the victim, had filed a report to the local police to allow them to follow up the case.

A group of Satpol personnel attacked Raja as he insisted on entering his workplace at the governor's office, although he had failed to show his ID card. As his excuse Raja said he had forgotten to bring it. Internal rules require any public servant to wear his or her ID on office premises.

Raja sustained an injury and was taken to a local hospital by his colleagues. --Antara
