YOGYAKARTA – Often called Eril, Emmeril Khan Mumtadz, the son of the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil, was reported missing in a river in Bern, Switzerland on Thursday, May 26 at noon. According to a spokesman for the family, Elpi Nuzmuzaman, officially said that the family was in Switzerland at the time of the incident.

Eril and his family are looking for a school to continue their education at the master's level. Currently, the SAR team and the Swiss police are still in the search phase. However, the search was postponed because it was already evening and would continue tomorrow.

In everyday life, Eril often does activities with his colleagues. The man who graduated from ITB Mechanical Engineering was dressed simply, along with his daily portrait which was uploaded on Instagram social media.

His social media account does not upload many portraits of Eril, from his 29 Instagram photos followed by more than 96 thousand followers. In addition to carrying out his educational activities, Eril is often involved as a volunteer. Like at the start of the pandemic, he and other young people help people who don't have access to education and other needs.

Activities are carried out like ordinary young people, even though the father has an important role in government. Eril once told about the ups and downs of being the son of his beloved father. He said on the show Alvin and Friends, he had a harder time trusting people because he met many people who pretended to be nice to him for some reason. But the happiest thing, he was easily recognized by people to ask for photos, he said with a laugh.

Until the information that Emmeril Kahn Mumtadz was dragged into the Aaree river, Bern, Switzerland, the family hopes that Eril can be found soon in good health. According to Elpi, a spokesman for the family, at that time Eril was swimming in the river with his sister and friends. When he rose to the surface, Eril was swept away by a fairly swift current.

The family begged him so that Eril could be found safe and reunited with his family in good health.
