Nabbed cop's dossier returned

JAKARTA: The dossier on a police officer arrested for alleged possession of ecstasy pills has been returned to police by the Jakarta Prosecutors Office.

Office general crime assistant Noor Said told Tempo News Room the dossier on Comr. Puja Laksana, an investigator in the National Police anticorruption unit, was still incomplete.

The Jakarta Police narcotics division is still searching for the drug syndicate believed to have involved Puja.

"Our detectives are hunting nationwide for some suspects," said division chief Sr. Comr. Carlo Brix Tewu.

Puja was arrested on Jan. 11 at a supermarket in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta for the possession of 900 ecstasy pills and is currently in custody at the Jakarta Police headquarters. His information later led the police to arrest a woman, identified as Lina Harahap, 43. -- JP
