Cabul Village Apparatus Asks For 'ML' With Women To Process Documents, Bandung Regency Government Only Talks About Free Population Administration

BANDUNG - Bandung Regency Government (Pemkab) emphasized that all population administration services are free. This affirmation is related to the case of lecherous village officials asking to have sex with women who are taking care of population administration.

"To be known by the public that all population administration services are free or free," said Head of the Population and Civil Registration Office of Bandung Regency Yudi Abdurrahman as reported by ANTARA, Friday, June 23.

This was stated in relation to the actions of village officials in Bandung Regency who asked for some money, even an unnatural act, for residents who took care of population administration.

Yudi said that as part of a form of service that is oriented towards the community and in an effort to realize governance, population administration service officers at all levels are required to provide the best service for the community, be disciplined, and uphold service ethics.

"Therefore, the public does not need to comply with the actions of unscrupulous officers who deviate from applicable regulations and dare to report them to the authorities," he said.

His party provides about 23 types of population administration services both online and offline, such as the Sakedap (for queues) and WhatApps (WA) applications.

"And the Bedas Smart Service application is currently being developed which is initiated by Diskominfo to realize Bandung Go Digital Regency in an integrated manner in a super-apps format," he said.

In addition, the Bandung Regency Dukcapil Office periodically conducts mobile services (yanling) including to schools through Goes to School activities, and universities through Goes to Campus activities.

Previously, a woman with the initials SR was suspected of being a victim of harassment by a Banyusari Village apparatus, Bandung Regency, with the initials R. SR said that the incident began when she wanted to take care of her cousin's birth certificate, family card, and KTP.

Arriving at the Banyusari Village Office, the victim met the perpetrator with the initials R and asked about the costs of dealing with documents. The victim was then notified that the cost of dealing with documents was Rp. 1 million.

After accepting and a few days later coming to inquire about the follow-up to the document management, the perpetrator told that Rp1 million was not enough to take care of the documents. At that time the perpetrator gave the option that documents could still be taken care of as long as the victim was willing to have sex.

For this incident, SR then reported to the West Java Police Ditreskrimum. The case was then transferred to the Bandung Police Satreskrim with a letter numbered B/3549/VI/RES.7.4/2023/Ditreskrimum.

Kasatreskrim Polresta Bandung Kompol Oliestha Ageng Wicaksana confirmed the delegation and now the police are conducting an investigation process by asking for information from a number of witnesses.

"It is still being investigated, in the stage of examining witnesses," said Oliestha without mentioning the number of witnesses being examined.
