Amman, July 28 (Petra) — The Public Security Directorate (PSD) on
Tuesday stated the outcome of an investigation into a social media
video in which a man alleged he had been assaulted by officers from
the Anti-Narcotics Department during a search operation.

The PSD spokesperson said the police prosecutor had concluded the
investigation after reviewing body-worn camera footage that
documented the incident from its outset.

The investigation also included testimony from three civilian
witnesses, all of whom were neighbors of the complainant and present
during the search. According to the spokesperson, both the camera
footage and the witnesses’ statements confirmed that the man was not
subjected to beating, assault or any other form of misconduct during
the operation.

The spokesperson added that the man was referred to a forensic
medical examiner for evaluation. The forensic report concluded that
the visible injuries on his body were similar in appearance and
length, were sustained at the same time, and were consistent with
having been self-inflicted or deliberately inflicted by another
person.

The police prosecutor concluded, based on the available evidence,
witness testimony and forensic findings, that the assault allegation
was false and had been fabricated. The investigation into the
complainant remains ongoing.
