"Results of the postmortem will be used as proof to show that the KPK officer was assaulted," KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah stated here, Tuesday.
Moreover, medical records, including the surgery, could reveal facts about the assault, he remarked.
"We believe that such proofs will be self-explanatory to shed light on the condition of the victim. We would better leave it to the police to probe who assaulted the officer," he noted.
The KPK chief on Monday visited the officer, identified by his name as Gilang, who was attacked while on duty. Doctors had to conduct surgery on Gilang`s nose and stitch an area near his left eye.
Gilang will need to be hospitalized for four to five days to ensure his recovery, Diansyah noted.
Meanwhile, the Papua provincial administration had denied that an assault took place on the KPK officer in a hotel in Jakarta on February 2, 2019.
Several officials of the Papua administration and members of the Papua Legislative Council (DPRD) held a meeting in the hotel to discuss the results of a review conducted by the Home Affairs Ministry on the Papua Regional Budget (RAPBD).
Earlier, Senior Commissioner Argo Yuwono, spokesman of the Jakarta Police, remarked that the Jakarta Police are currently investigating reports on the assaults on two KPK investigators.
The police received a report on the assaults from the KPK on Sunday, and the incident took place in a hotel on Saturday evening.
Diansyah earlier remarked that the agency had assigned the two men to investigate a tip-off on corruption indications.
The duo was later assaulted owing to which they suffered bodily injuries.
"Although they had presented their KPK ID cards, assaults on the two KPK employees continued," Diansyah pointed out.
The KPK has recorded at least nine attacks on its officials and employees, so far, with the latest one being committed on Jan 9, during which bombs were found at the homes of KPK Chairman Agus Raharjo and Commissioner Laode M. Syarif.
