JAKARTA - KNPI's legal team, Arief Parhusip, urges the police to immediately reveal the incident that happened to Haris Pertama at the Garuda Cikini restaurant, Menteng, Central Jakarta.

"We will take legal action and are very grateful for the seriousness of our friends from the police to solve and find out who the perpetrators are," said Arief Parhusip in his statement, Monday, February 21.

Arief said that Haris is currently undergoing treatment at the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) due to the injuries he received in the incident.

"Based on the information we got, Haris was at RSCM Kencana. Haris can still talk, can still communicate," he said.

According to Arief, currently his party does not know the reason for the alleged beating and the characteristics of the perpetrators of the beating.

Arief said the incident began when Haris Pertama came to the Garuda Restaurant himself because he was a customer of the restaurant.

Arriving at the Garuda Restaurant, Haris got out of the car and the three perpetrators approached Haris and beat him with stones and a number of blunt objects.

The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Menteng Metro Police, Kompol Alvin Pratama, said that the incident took place this afternoon in the parking lot of the Garuda Restaurant.

"Yes, that's right (the chairman of the KNPI became a victim of beatings). The incident was at Garuda," said Alvin.

Kompol Alvin is currently unable to determine the motive for the attack on the KNPI chairman.

The police are still investigating the identity of the perpetrators of the assault.

"We haven't had time to (ask for the victim's information) because we immediately took him to the hospital first," he said.
