JAKARTA - The government through the Government Communication Agency (Bakom) RI appreciates the rapid steps of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia (Polri) which has succeeded in identifying the suspected perpetrators of the water spraying incident that befell KontraS activist, Andrie Yunus, based on the examination of witnesses, evidence, and data analysis in the field.
Head of Bakom RI Angga Raka Prabowo said this effort was an important part of ensuring that law enforcement was based on evidence.
"We appreciate the efforts of the police in handling this case, which quickly managed to identify the perpetrator. The government expresses its deep concern over this incident and hopes that Andrie Yunus' brother can recover soon," said Angga.
This development was strengthened by the steps of the TNI Military Police Center (Puspom) which had secured four people suspected of being perpetrators. Currently, the suspects are undergoing further examination for further investigation.

The government is committed to ensuring that the legal process is carried out firmly, transparently, and accountable in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations.
"Whoever the perpetrator is, they must be processed according to the applicable law," said Angga.
