JAKARTA - I don't know what is on the mind of Agus Haryanto (46), who claims to be a member of the TNI with the rank of Major in the Marines.

Agus confessed to being a member of the TNI to his girlfriend, Siti, who is a widow with two children. In fact, Agus even wanted to make a fake membership card (KTA) so that Siti would believe him.

Unfortunately, Agus's trick was uncovered after being raided by the residents and the head of the RT. At that time, Agus was visiting his girlfriend's residence in Cipinang Muara, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta.

Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the East Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Ahsanul Muqaffi explained that Agus initially met Siti via Facebook in 2020. From there, Agus admitted that he was a TNI Marine Major.

In November 2021, Agus ngapel to Siti's house almost every day. The two of them got engaged in December 2021. Apparently, Agus's very routine arrival at Siti's house made residents restless.

"Residents in the vicinity are worried about the behavior of the perpetrator who goes to the victim's house every day and claims to be a member of the Marine Major," Ahsanul told reporters, Saturday, January 22.

Until finally, on Thursday, January 20, 2022, Agus, who was sitting relaxed on the terrace of Siti's house, was approached by the RT management. The local RT asked for his identity. Agus then showed the KTA.

As a result of the investigation, it was discovered that Agus' KTA TNI was fake. Finally, Agus admitted the act of forging identity.

"The perpetrator explained that in 2018 he made a KTA TNI AD to Brother Anto. They met next to an unused shophouse next to Gramedia Senen by attaching only a photocopy of their ID card," he said.

Separately, the Head of the Jatinegara Police, Kompol Yusuf Suhadma, revealed that his party had coordinated with the TNI POM to investigate this case.

Even so, so far no criminal offenses have been found by Agus as the perpetrator, so he was sent home.

Agus only made a statement on stamp duty and his fake KTA was confiscated as evidence by the Military Police investigators at the Military Police Command.

"We brought him here, we checked, indeed he will be married in the next two months. Because there is no crime, we will return it. We call the Military Police of the Military Command to come. The KTA was taken by POM DAM investigators. And the perpetrator made a statement," said Yusuf.
