JAKARTA - Comedian Pandji Pragiwaksono has fulfilled the call of the investigators of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police regarding the report of alleged cultural and Toraja customary harassment.
Pandji arrived at the National Police Headquarters on Monday, February 2, 2026, afternoon to undergo an examination accompanied by Haris Azhar's lawyer.
Pandji explained that his presence was a follow-up to a report related to his performance material some time ago, not about Mens Rea.
"I got a call regarding the Toraja case," said Pandji at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, South Jakarta, Monday, February 2, 2026.
Pandji admitted that he was asked 48 questions by investigators. In fact, he revealed that the case that dragged his name had entered the investigation stage.
"Actually, it has been said that it is in the investigation stage," he said.
Pandji said that this case was not related to the Mens Rea element. According to him, the report refers to a performance held in 2013 and was only disputed recently.
"Not Mens Rea. This is for another show that has been around for a long time. The show was in 2013, then it was questioned now," he explained.
Pandji said the examination began at around 10.30 WIB. Regarding the efforts to settle with the reporting party, he stated that an apology had been submitted and was publicly accessible.
"Actually, an apology has already been made and can be seen by the public as well. But maybe this is just a continuation of the report. I follow the process," he said.
Meanwhile, Pandji's lawyer, Haris Azhar, said that his client was only the first time to be directly examined by investigators. However, the previous summons had already been carried out.
"This was checked first. The summons was twice, only then Panji was not in Indonesia," he said.
It is known that Komika Pandji Pragiwaksono was reported by the Toraja Youth Alliance to the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) of the National Police for alleged racist insults and SARA-flavored speech against the Toraja people.
Pandji was considered racist, harassing and degrading the dignity of the Toraja people when presenting stand-up comedy material. The video was uploaded on the Pandji Pragiwaksono YouTube channel with the title Money VS Education.
