DENPASAR - The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto, emphasized that the legal process against Edy Mulyadi, a suspect in hate speech over the statement in Kalimantan where the genie dumped a child, was in accordance with the procedure. Neither party has been prosecuted for being deliberately targeted.

"No. There is no difference between the professions of media friends who run their professions, it's different," said Komjen Agus to reporters in Denpasar, Bali, Wednesday, February 2.

Kabareskrim emphasized that what Edy Mulyadi had done caused unrest and chaos in the community. The statement that the jinn dumped their children in Kalimantan recently led to demonstrations in Kalimantan.

"If he causes a commotion with untrue factual data, it must be processed. This will cause unrest in the community," said Kabareskrim.

"There is none (targeted). It is impossible for us to process the right people," he said.

Previously, Edy Mulyadi stated that he felt targeted by certain parties. However, not because of the alleged hate speech case regarding Kalimantan where the genie dumped their child.

"I am well aware because my amazing friends are well aware that I was being targeted," said Edy Mulyadi.

According to Edy Mulyadi, he has become a target not because of his statement about Kalimantan where the genie throws children or Prabowo Subianto who is considered a meowing tiger.

However, he became a target for being critical. Especially with government policies.

"I was targeted not because of words, not because of the place where the genie throws children. I was not targeted because of the meowing tiger," said Edy Mulyadi.
