Bareskrim Checks The Father Of The Victim Of The Bukhori Yusuf Domestic Violence Case

The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police continues to investigate cases of alleged domestic violence (KDRT) of former PKS Legislator Bukhori Yusuf against his wife, MY. Most recently, the victim's father has been examined.

"The witness examined the initials S (the victim's biological father)," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division Kombes Nurul Azizah when confirmed, Friday, July 7.

The examination of S was carried out on Tuesday, July 4. However, the status of this case is still under investigation.

"The examination was carried out as an addition to completing the evidence," said Nurul.

Bukhori Yusuf was originally reported by M to the Bandung Police in November 2022. Over time or May 9, 2023, the investigation process was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

Bukhori Yusuf through his attorney, Ahmad Mihdan, has provided clarification on cases of alleged domestic violence (KDRT).

Ahmad Mihdan regretted the news which only contained one source from MY, as the reporter, because it contained non-objective and accurate information.

"By's Legal Team regrets the news that only takes from one source, namely MY, which we value contains information that is not objective and accurate, thus cornering BY as our client," said Ahmad

According to him, the inaccurate news regarding the affairs of his client and his ex-wife Siri is a personal matter and should not be exploited by irresponsible parties.

"This has also become public consumption and has created wild perceptions in the community and caused a commotion," he added.

Ahmad assessed that what MY had done was too far; because based on evidence in the legal process at the Bandung Polrestabes there was no evidence to show that Bukhori Yusuf had committed a criminal act.

The report submitted by MY is a minor crime of persecution referring to Article 352 of the Criminal Code, and not domestic violence. This denies Bukhori Yusuf's accusations of committing domestic violence and this is still under investigation.
