The survivor of the bloody operation in August 2016 is acquitted of direct assault charges filed by the police. The Office of the Ombudsman doesn't find this enough proof that there was no incident of 'nanlaban.'

The Office of the Ombudsman has junked the murder complaints against Quezon City policemen over the killing of 3 men in Batasan in August 2016 – one of the first few"nanlaban" cases in President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody war on drugs.

"Their statements cannot be considered for purposes of determining probable cause against respondents," said the Ombudsman. "Arevalo's acquttal cannot conclusively indicate the absence of resistance or force on the part of the deceased victims," said the Ombudsman.
