Regent involved in brawl

BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: The Bandarlampung prosecutor's office has demanded that local police name Tulangbawang Regent Abdurahman Sarbini a suspect in a brawl involving his son.

Chief of the prosecutor's office Abdoel Taufiq said on Saturday that witnesses had reportedly seen the regent assist his son, Dodi, beat up Hari Kohar. Hari later reported the matter to Bandarlampung police.

Police have thus far only named Dodi as a suspect, charging him with assault.

The assault took place on March 12 when Dodi and Abdoel went to Hari's office in Bandarlampung to protest the latter's reports in local media concerning corruption in Tulangbawang regency. -- Antara
