When asked further, Raja explained that there were allegations that Saipul Jamil was detained by authorities for suspected drug abuse. However, once again, he couldn't confirm it yet.
"But we can't be sure that Saipul Jamil did things with illegal substances. Because when inside (prison), it's not just him," he concluded.
2. Confirmation From the Police
When contacted by KapanLagi, the police confirmed that Saipul Jamil had been detained. "Examination is still being conducted (on Saipul Jamil). We will inform (about the case) later. He was not arrested but detained," said Tambora Police Chief, Commissioner Donny Agung Harvida.
