00:00In the case of Sosma, there are two things.
00:03Firstly, the Sosma police station is conducting a hunger strike.
00:08Secondly, yesterday, one of the police station's wife made a police report,
00:12saying that her husband was arrested.
00:16Yesterday, the news went viral.
00:20I myself received a lot of questions.
00:22My first step was to immediately contact the chief of police
00:28to conduct an investigation and report back to the police.
00:33I accepted the full report.
00:35The incident did not take place.
00:38It did not take place.
00:40I put it there first.
00:41But if the wife said that there was an incident,
00:45and she made a report,
00:46we have nothing to hide.
00:49If the police report has been made,
00:51the police's job is to conduct an investigation.
00:54But I immediately received a reply from the chief of police
00:59saying that there was no incident.
01:02Because what happened was an accident in Mogok.
01:05When in Mogok, she did not eat or drink water for several days,
01:10physically, her body felt weak.
01:12So when she was taken to the hospital,
01:14she was forced to be carried by a wheelchair.
01:17But if there is a report that has not been made,
01:21the police will conduct an investigation.
01:23The second incident in Mogok was also committed by her family outside.
01:28And when it comes to the investigation,
01:34I have already given a full report to the ministers
01:39that has been mentioned in the parliament.
01:42Regarding the investigation,
01:44we have NFA-ed everything.
01:46So that's about the Mogok Lapa incident.
