JAKARTA - The Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) have named five other suspects in the alleged incitement case behind the riots that have occurred in several areas of Jakarta.
Previously, the Director of the Lokataru Foundation, Delpedro Marhaen, was named a suspect in the incitement case. This brings the total number of suspects to six.

In addition to Delpedro Marhaen, the other five suspects are Muzafar Salim, Syahdan Husein, Khariq Anhar, RAP, and FL.
The investigation revealed that the suspects' roles were similar. They incited students or children to commit riots. The incitement and invitations were conveyed through their Instagram social media accounts.
"The first thing we're saying is that DMR (Delpedro Marhaen) is the admin of an Instagram account, yes, this is his initials. The admin of the IG account is LF," he said.
"The role of suspect DMR was to collaborate with other IG accounts to spread the message that students shouldn't be afraid, let's fight together," Ade continued.

Suspect RAP also disseminated information about the location of the Molotov cocktails he had made for use.
"RAP was the admin of the Instagram account @rap. His role was to provide tutorials on making Molotov cocktails and also coordinate Molotov couriers in the field from his Instagram account," Ade stated.
