Jakarta – The police have denied their investigation into an acid attack on Novel Baswedan, a senior investigator for the Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK, has been caught in a dead-end.

"We're investigating all leads. We want the facts, not assumptions," National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said in Jakarta on Tuesday (25/04).

Boy denied the investigation has encountered a dead-end. "Each investigation moves at its own pace. We can obtain the facts quickly or slowly, depending on our sources," Boy said.

Novel suffered serious burns to his face after unknown men threw acid on him near his home in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, on April 11. So far, investigators have questioned 19 witnesses in the case.
