"We thank to the uploader for criticizing Indonesian Police," Spokesman of Indonesian Police Headquarter, Boy Rafli Amar, said on Friday.
Amar condemned the violation made by the police and guaranteed that he would be punished. "We have received a reported from Bali Regional Police. They have investigated the case," he said.
The video 'Police Corruption in Bali' revealed the story of a corrupt police from Badung, Bali, Komang Sarjana.
