At the station, the district police commander who commanded the operation refused to take Amuriat to his office, but instead took him to the traffic office. Officials in the traffic office declined to have custody of Amuriat saying he had not committed a traffic offense.

However, they were ‘overpowered’ and ordered out of office.
