The Nation’s Hope(Amal Alomma) website reported there was a liaison between the Head of Sidi Gaber Police Station and the Assistant Interior Minister Mohamed al-Sayed Tolba who requested him to refer the two informants and Major Ahmed Osman accused in the killing of Khalid Saed to a military trial.
According to other sources the Ministry of Interior may be forced to dismiss the Major and the two informants in order to calm the public opinion and appease opposition political sectors who condemned the interior ministry for abusing its authority.
