According to Beka, there are a number of things that will be explored by Komnas HAM officers during the second examination of MS. The first is about the legal process that MS has been going through since this case emerged until now.

"Second, regarding the confirmation of information that has been given by the KPI secretariat and the Police," he said.

Previously, Komnas HAM had summoned the leaders of the KPI and the Central Jakarta Metro Police. Komnas HAM investigated the alleged omission by the two institutions on the reports of harassment and bullying that had been submitted by MS.

The case of sexual harassment and bullying that befell MS emerged after he wrote an open letter which went viral on social media on September 1.
