There have been local reports that two suspects were arrested on Monday in the USA over the murder of prominent politician, leader of the 1990 democratic revolution, Zorig Sanjaasuren, which sparked controversy.

The General Police Department have made a statement that the reports are baseless and misguided. The General Police Department of Mongolia asked if there was an arrest made by related organizations, but it was found that the report was mistaken.

Therefore news.mn is issuing an announcement that the local reports regarding arrests over the Zorig case were made in error.
