JAKARTA - The Indonesian House of Representatives Commission I will immediately summon the TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa and the Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) General Dudung Abdurachman. The summons was to ask for clarification from the involvement of three TNI soldiers in the murder of a couple Handi Saputra (18) and Salsabila (14) who had an accident in Nagrek, West Java.

"I have suggested to the leadership of Commission I DPR RI to immediately summon the TNI Commander and Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) to explain the case. God willing, this is a priority agenda," said member of Commission I DPR RI Muhammad Farhan, Tuesday, December 28.

Farhan considered that the legal process of the case was a test of the commitment of the TNI Commander in enforcing internal discipline and law enforcement in cases involving TNI ranks. He also asked for the legal process against the three TNI AD soldiers involved in the deaths of Handi and Salsa to be opened transparently.

"We know the Esprit de corp in the TNI to be very strong. But when three of them commit serious violations against the people, the TNI must show maturity, generosity, and professionalism, that this is a legal matter that is not light at all," said the NasDem politician.

Farhan then alluded to the order of the TNI Commander, which requires the examination of members of the TNI with the permission of their superiors. According to him, the order has serious consequences for members of the TNI themselves regarding openness.

"It must be open to the public, why is a Colonel who served at the Gorontalo Korem in West Java with two soldiers from the Diponegoro Kodam. It is possible that the three individuals were in the Siliwangi Kodam area without the knowledge of his superiors," he said.

Previously, the TNI Commander General Andika Perkara ordered TNI investigators to fire three of his members suspected of being involved in the crash case in Nagreg, Bandung Regency, West Java. Where, the collision resulted in the death of two teenagers.

"The Commander of the Indonesian Armed Forces, General Andika Perkasa, has also instructed TNI and AD investigators as well as the TNI AD investigator to give additional punishments of dismissal from military service for the 3 members of the TNI AD," said Head of the TNI Information Center Major General TNI Prantara Santosa.

The three members of the Indonesian Army, namely Colonel Inf P, Corporal Two DA, and Corporal Two AD. Meanwhile, the two victims are Handi Saputra (16) and Salsabila (14).

Based on the examination, said Prantara, the three TNI personnel violated three criminal articles. Where, in one of the articles that are violated the maximum sentence is life imprisonment.

"The three TNI AD officers violated Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Highway Traffic and Transportation, including Article 310 (threats to imprisonment for a maximum of 6 years) and Article 312 (threats to imprisonment for a maximum of 3 years)," he said.

"The Criminal Code is Article 181 (threats to imprisonment for a maximum of 6 months), Article 359 (threats to imprisonment for a maximum of 5 years), Article 338 (threats to imprisonment for a maximum of 15 years), Article 340 (threats to imprisonment for a maximum of life)," he continued.

The two victims were thrown into the river. The action was allegedly to eliminate traces.

However, the bodies of the two victims could be found in two different locations. Handi was found on the banks of the Serayu River, Rawalo District, Banyumas Regency, while Salsabila was found in the Serayu River estuary area, Adipala District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java.
