JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Indonesian police have charged a businessman whose free cash handout led to a stampede that killed at least 21 people in an eastern Indonesian town.
Police charged Haji Farouk with negligence resulting in death. If convicted, he can be sent to jail for up to five years, said National Police spokesman Abubakar Nataprawira on Tuesday.
Hundreds of people -- mostly women, children and the elderly -- had lined up in the town of Pasuruan, about 500 miles (804 km) from the capital, to accept 40,000 rupiah ($4.25) each from Farouk on Monday.
