The North Kalimantan Regional Police (Kaltara) is said to be conducting a case title in several prominent cases, one of which is the alleged theft of evidence of fuel oil (BBM).

Meanwhile, the case is suspected to be one of the bases for the removal of Kombes Teguh Triwantoro as Head of Propam. Teguh is said to have failed to investigate the alleged theft of fuel bars even though the Kaltara Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya has ordered him.

"We are currently investigating a case. Clarification of prominent cases that are of public concern. One of them is the theft of fuel evidence," Kompolnas Commissioner Poengky Indarti told VOI, Thursday, April 27.

In the title of the case, Kompolnas as an external supervisor was involved. However, regarding the interim results, Poengky has not explained it.

So far, it has only been stated that Kompolnas will clarify all the issues that have developed behind the removal of Kombes Teguh.

"There are several prominent cases that we clarify," said Poengky.

Kombes Teguh was removed as Head of Propam Kaltara based on warrant Number 522/IV/Kep/2023, dated April 10, 2023. The removal was also said to be in accordance with Perkap Number 15 of 2015.

The reason behind the removal was because Kombes Teguh was deemed not to have complied with the orders of his superiors. Originally, he was ordered by the North Kalimantam Police Chief to investigate the illegal fuel case that allegedly involved police officers. However, it has not been followed up.
