He stated that Mudjiana, who previously had the status of a witness, has now been upgraded to a suspect with his role as an inclinator mechanics according to data from the Ministry of Manpower, not as an expert on Working Health and Safety (K3) elevators and escalators.
Widiada explained that Mudjiana is tasked with designing, creating and operating indicators without using K3 provisions as stipulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6/2017 concerning the Safety and Health of elevators and escalators so that the inclinators at Ayu Terra Resort do not comply with standards and cause celling ropes to break until there are casualties.

Furthermore, Juwono as the owner and manager of Ayu Terra Resort has designed from the start to create an inclinator at the Ayu Terra Resort that is not in accordance with the Building Permit.
Widiada explained that the suspect Juwono was a person who used an inclinator made by witness Mudjiana where the inclinator made by Mudjiana was changed from three Seling ropes to one celling rope not in accordance with the provisions of K3 as stipulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6/2017 concerning the safety and health of elevator work or escalator.
