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.
