REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Jakarta Metro Police Chief Inspector General Idham Azis remained silent when being questioned by the reporters about the progress of cases that drew public attention.
He was reluctant to answer questions on the chemical liquid attack to senior investigator of Corruption Eradication Commission, Novel Baswedan. He also did not say a word to comment on the case of alleged steamy conversation case with Habib M. Rizieq Shihab as suspect.

He repeatedly asked the reporters to convey the questions to Jakarta Metro Police spokesman, Senior Commissioner Argo Yuwono. "Please ask Argo about it," he said at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, on Tuesday (August 15).
