"So the fake news is about, the first one is the Director General of Health Services saying that there was PPDS FK Undip who committed suicide, even though it was only a day after the suicide incident. It was an unnatural death," he said.

"The suicide is the capacity of the authority of the Police, not the authority of other people who do not have enough authority to carry out the process," he continued.

Nasser also claimed that another lie committed by Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin was when he said that there was bullying against the deceased.

Not only that, Nasser also stated that the rape was a lie broadcast by the Ministry of Health officials.
