After clarifying the owner of the celebration, the police plan to ask other parties, such as the sub-district head and village head, including information from Bhayangkara Pembina Security and Public Order (Bhabinkamtibmas).

The party owner of the celebration would like to clarify regarding the implementation of the micro-scale PKM. It was also clarified about the lack of coordination with local government officials who were the task force for handling COVID-19 to obtain permits.

Based on the information from the celebration owner, it is admitted that they never coordinated.

"It's just that, he was surprised to find that there were about 50 people coming so that it looked crowded. When he wanted to put the buffalo as a handover, it also caused traffic jams," said AKP Ghala Rimba.

Meanwhile, the circulating video, he said, was known to have taken place shortly after the event was over. While the activities are only in the form of consent granted and marriage proposal submission.

"It just so happens that the house is located on the edge of Jalan Pati-Purwodadi, so that when one buffalo was dropped off as a handover and a motorbike had caused traffic jams," said AKP Suyatna.

Regarding this, the home owner stated that he was ready to be responsible for the noise that was caused. In addition, the person concerned has also made a statement of apology for this matter.
