JAKARTA - The Directorate of Drug Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police sealed or gave the Big Brother Sudirman cafe police line. This sealing had to be done because the cafe violated the health protocol (prokes).

Based on the video circulating on social media, Big Brother Sudirman Cafe violated the rules of operating hours. Where, the cafe manager continues to operate above 00.00 WIB. Even though the operational hours of cafes in Jakarta during PPKM, the maximum is only until 00.00 WIB.

Director of Narcotics Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Mukti Juharsa, who confirmed this matter, confirmed the sealing effort. However, he did not specify when the sealing or police line was enforced.

"Yes (the Big Brother cafe was given a police line)," said Mukti to VOI, Tuesday, February 1.

Kanit 4 Sub-Directorate 1 of the Narcotics Directorate of the Polda Metro Jaya, Kompol Dzul Fadlan also added that in the series of surveillance his party also checked several cafes or other entertainment venues in the SCBD area, South Jakarta.

However, they did not find any cafes or other entertainment venues that were still operating at that time. Thus, only one location was found to have violated the rules.

"Furthermore, the patrol continued to the South Jakarta SCBD area, but the officers did not find an operating cafe/pub," said Fadlan.
