North Sumatra Police Respond To Reports Of Choki, Billiards Trainer Dijewer By Governor Edy Rahmayadi

JAKARTA - The PON Papua billiards coach Khairuddin Aritonang alias Choki reported the Governor of North Sumatra (Sumut) Edy Rahmayadi to the North Sumatra Police, after his subpoena was not responded to. Choki reported that the former Kostrad commander had not apologized for tricking him in public.

Meanwhile the Director of the General Crime Directorate (Ditkrimum) of the North Sumatra Police, Kombes Pol Tatan Dirsan Atmaja said his party would examine the report.

"We will first examine the witness who made the report and the next step will be conveyed to the media," said Kombes Pol Tatan Dirsan Atmaja, quoting CNNIndonesia, Tuesday, January 3.

Tatan admits that he has not seen Choki's report. He also said that anyone has the right to make a report to the police.

"Anyone has the right to make a report. But the police report has not yet reached our table," said Tatan.

Following up on the report, Tatan admitted that his party would coordinate with the SPKT to handle this case. However, he was reluctant to answer further about whether Edy might be summoned for questioning or not.

In the letter numbered STTLP/03/1/2022/SPKT/Polda North Sumatra, Edy was reported to have committed a crime in accordance with Article 310 in conjunction with Article 315 of the Criminal Code.

"Article 310 in conjunction with Article 315 carries a penalty of under 1 year. But we will be procedural regarding the case, and of course we will coordinate with the reporting party involving Wasidik," said Tatan.

Tatan admitted that he was still waiting for the report file to arrive at the police desk before determining the follow-up to the case.

"We'll see. We'll tell you. The LP hasn't arrived at our table yet," he said.
