August 20 2025

The father of a college student who died from leptospirosis after searching for him in floodwaters has filed complaints against three Caloocan policemen for his alleged illegal arrest and detention.

- By HANNAH NICOL

Jason Dela Rosa, accompanied by Caloocan Bishop and Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David, filed the case before the National Police Commission (Napolcom) on Monday, Aug. 18.

He accused the officers of arbitrary detention, perjury, and incriminating an innocent person.

Dela Rosa was arrested on July 22 after being accused of stealing from a convenience store. Although he immediately returned the item and no charges were filed by the establishment, the police officers still detained him at the Caloocan City Police Station until July 25.
