KUALA LUMPUR: The Indonesian Embassy here has denied a report quoting Indonesian Police Chief General Sutarman as saying that he and his Malaysian counterpart knew what happened to Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370.
Police Attache of the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur Aby Nursetyanto said the report by Indonesian newspaper Tempo on Sunday was their own conclusion on MH370, missing since March 8.
"The reporter will be summoned by the Indonesian Police Chief to clarify the report. Action will be taken if he failed to show any proof," he told Bernama when contacted here, Monday.
Tempo quoted Indonesian Police Chief General Sutarman as saying that he and his Malaysian counterpart knew what happened to MH370 but declined to elaborate.
The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) have denied the report. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said he did not know anything about it and was shocked.
MH370 disappeared from radar on March 8 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
The Boeing 777 has not been found despite a massive search conducted in the southern Indian Ocean, where the flight is believed to have ended. - Bernama
