The Special Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency said yesterday (1st) that they investigated a man with a 'rabbit headband' who was suspected of deliberately pushing the crowd during the Itaewon disaster as a witness.
It is known that Mr. A denied the allegations by suggesting the route of his movement before his disaster in the police investigation.
Immediately after the disaster on the 29th of last month, suspicions such as 'a group of 5 or 6 people started pushing', 'a man with a rabbit headband pushed', and 'shouted to push' were raised on the social network service immediately after the disaster on the 29th of last month.
In order to understand the truth of the disaster, the police began to confirm the facts of the related allegations.
A reference investigation for Mr. A is also part of it.
A police official said, "We plan to review whether or not to convert Mr. A into a suspect by synthesizing eyewitness statements and closed-circuit TV footage."
In addition to Mr. A, the police are trying to figure out the whereabouts of a woman wearing a rabbit headband, who is suspected of pushing the crowd at the time of the disaster.
