This case then left a question mark after the police concluded that no other person was involved in Arya's death. So Arya is considered to have committed suicide.

The family openly expressed disagreements over the alleged death toll from suicide. Meta Bagus, Arya's brother-in-law, stated that the family did not agree with the conclusions of law enforcement officials.

According to Meta, Arya is known as a cheerful, responsible figure, and has shown no signs of severe pressure during his life. For this reason, the Arya Family asked the police not to stop the case and urged the police to continue the investigation.
