JAKARTA - The West Java Province Education Office (Disdik) is still investigating whether or not there is an element of bullying that has caused a high school (SMAN) student in Garut Regency to end his life.

"It is still being investigated by a joint team," said Head of the West Java Province Regional XI Education Office (KCD), Aang Karyana when contacted by reporters in Garut, Friday, confiscated by Antara.

He said that since the incident, the West Java Education Office had immediately moved to investigate it by asking for information from the school and parents of their children.

Including at this time, he said, he is still continuing to explore it by forming a team from a number of provincial-level government agencies, as well as the central government such as the Ministry of Human Rights, the Ministry of Elementary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), and also the police whose results of the investigation will be conveyed by the Governor of West Java.

"What the results will be, will be announced later," he said.

Separately, information from the Garut Resort Police has been carried out to investigate the crime scene related to the case of a 16-year-old teenager who ended his life by hanging himself at his home, Monday, July 14.

Head of the Garut Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Joko Prihatin, said that the results of the crime scene did not find any signs of violence against the victim, so it was suspected that the victim had committed suicide.

He said that until now the police had not received a report from the victim's family regarding the cause of the suicide victim, even so the police would still carry out the investigation process. "We are still conducting an investigation with the joint team," he said.

The case of the death of a high school student in Garut was busy on social media which was allegedly due to bullying at his school.

The government immediately moved quickly, including deactivating the principal concerned to facilitate the inspection process in finding out the truth of the case.
