MEDAN - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has removed the Tebing Tinggi Police Chief AKBP Agus Sugiyarso and Labuhanbatu Police Chief AKBP Deni Kurniawan.

Both of them were transferred to the North Sumatra Police in order to evaluate their positions. The position of the Tebing Tinggi Police Chief will be filled by AKBP Mochamad Kunto Wibisono. Meanwhile, the position of the Labuhanbatu Police Chief will be occupied by AKBP Anhar Arlia Rangkuti.

The Head of Public Relations of the North Sumatra Police, Kombes Hadi Wahyudi, when confirmed regarding the mutation, confirmed it.

For AKBP Agus Sugiyarso, Kombes Hadi did not deny that his removal was related to a viral video showing the wife of the Tebing Tinggi Police Chief showing off some money.

However, for the removal of AKBP Deni from the Labuhanbatu Police Chief, Kombes Hadi was reluctant to explain in detail.

"(AKBP Deni) The evaluation is the same," said Kombes Hadi, confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, November 2.

When asked about the mistake of AKBP Deni who allegedly violated Perkap Number 10 of 2017, he also did not explain in detail.

"Performance evaluation is carried out by the leadership," he said.

Previously, North Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General Panca Putra Simanjuntak said the removal of Tebing Tinggi Police Chief AKBP Agus Sugiyarso was the result of a video showing his wife, Eci Agus Sugiyarso, showing a wad of money that went viral on social media.

"As the responsibility of her husband, the Tebing Tinggi Police Chief was withdrawn to the North Sumatran Police for evaluation and I have just handed over the position," Panca told reporters at the North Sumatra Police Headquarters, Monday, November 1.

Currently, said Inspector General Panca, the wife of the Tebing Tinggi Police Chief is still under investigation at the North Sumatra Police Propam Sector. This dismissal is a follow-up to the order of the National Police Chief who asks each member to be wise in using social media.

"Especially in pictures that show activities that can lead to the perception of hedonism," he said.

Panca explained that the action of showing a wad of money was carried out by the wife of the Tebing Tinggi Police Chief during a routine social gathering held at the Tebing Tinggi Police. Videos and photos of the activity were uploaded by his staff to his Instagram account, until they finally went viral.

He also emphasized that his party would not compromise any of its members who violated it.

"The law is mandatory, will receive sanctions according to their mistakes," he said.
