House Of Representatives Commission III Regrets Depok Karutan Arrested By Police For Drugs

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives Prince Khairul Saleh regrets the arrest of the Head of the Class I Detention House (Karutan) Depok, West Java, Anton, related to allegations of drug abuse by officers of the West Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Investigation Unit.

Based on information, members of the West Jakarta Police Narcotics Unit arrested an officer of the Depok Class I Detention Center, Anton in the Slipi area on Friday, June 25, early in the morning.

"As the deputy chairman of Commission III, I am very surprised and deeply regret this incident," Prince told reporters on Tuesday, July 20.

According to Prince, Karutan Depok should not violate the law. Because he should be responsible for being a supervisor and coach of prisoners.

"Karutan who should supervise the circulation of drugs and foster prisoners actually do things that are contrary to their duties," said the PAN politician.

It is known, the police confiscated evidence of one package of methamphetamine weighing 0.52 grams, one shabu suction device in the form of a cypress, four pills of the drug Aprazolam, and a cell phone unit.

Apart from Anton, the police also arrested M who is suspected of supplying drugs to Anton. Anton knew suspect M when he was in prison in 2009.

"This violation is an outrageous act and a very despicable act," the Prince lamented.
