Tito explained, joint team of KPK and Police could investigate together and not only looking the facts. Thus, the results of the joint investigation can be used as evidence which will then be brought to court.

"The joint investigation team is not only looking for more facts, because it is not pro justicia, the results can not be directly submitted as evidence to the court. This would be an investigation team," he said.

On April 11, Novel was attacked by two suspects riding a motorbike who hurled acid on him while he was on his way home after performing the dawn, or fajr, prayer, at a mosque near his house in North Jakarta. 

He suffered acid-induced injuries to his face, particularly his left eye.
