Police asked to arrest subdistrict head

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Dozens of community leaders in Bandar Gugung subdistrict, Deli Serdang regency, demanded on Friday that local police arrest the head of the subdistrict Zs, for graft.

They alleged that the subdistrict head had manipulated data on refugees from Aceh and embezzled millions of rupiah from the state.

"The suspect proposed to the government that 46 refugees from Aceh should receive financial aid and his office received it, but actually, there were no refugees in our subdistrict," said Tape Saragih, the spokesman of the community leaders. -- Antara
