Police in the region have taken both individuals into custody as part of an ongoing investigation into the incident. The case has drawn attention not only for the alleged misconduct but also for questions surrounding the aide's financial circumstances.
According to preliminary reports, the woman filed for bankruptcy only a few years before acquiring two residential properties, raising concerns among authorities about the source of funds used in the property purchases. Investigators are examining financial records as part of their inquiry.
The arrests mark the latest in a series of cases involving misconduct at religious institutions across Southeast Asia. Both individuals remain in custody pending further investigation and potential charges.
Authorities have not yet released additional details regarding the circumstances of the incident or timeline of events. The case is expected to proceed through the regional legal system in coming weeks.
