Police not to take action on deputy governor

MEDAN, North Sumatra: The North Sumatra Police said they would not take any action on deputy governor-elect Rudolf Pardede for allegations of using a fake university diploma.

"The one responsible for the matter is the election committee," said police spokesman Sr. Comr. Amrin Karim on Wednesday.

The police are currently investigating the allegedly fake diploma of Pardede, who is scheduled to be installed on June 16 along with incumbent governor T. Rizal Nurdin.

A team, led by Comr. M. Butar-Butar, was sent to Tanjungpinang in Riau province and Sukabumi in West Java province where Rudolf attended school.

The results of the investigation will be handed over to the legislative council, the police said. -- Antara
