JAKARTA - Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya (PMJ) Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo revealed the current condition of his members who were victims of beatings during a demonstration by the All-Indonesian Student Executive Board (BEM SI) on April 11.
Sambodo said that the health of traffic police (polantas) AKP Rudy Wira, who was persecuted by an unknown group of people on the Inner City Toll Road, is now starting to improve.
"Yes, it has improved," said Sambodo to VOI, Sunday, April 17.
However, Sambodo did not explain in more detail about the health conditions of his members.
As is known, AKP member of the Traffic Police Rudy Wira was beaten up on the Inner City Toll Road, Senayan, Central Jakarta, during a student demonstration in front of the DPR Building on April 11. The attack was caught on video and spread on social media.
The Metro Jaya Regional Police have investigated the video. In the video circulating, the police identified the characteristics of the perpetrators of the attack on six police officers while evacuating a car that was trapped during a demonstration in front of the DPR Building.
Sambodo said that the incident caused one of the six police officers who were victims of the attack to have bruises and injuries to the back of the head and bruises to the chest and back of the waist, suspected to have been caused by a blunt object.
Sambodo said that he had witnessed how the attack took place. He said that at that time he and five other police officers had to evacuate the vehicles that were stuck in the toll road because they saw some of the protesters entering the toll road.
"We were six people. At that time I was with Rudi Wira. We were trying to evacuate the cars that were stuck on the toll road. When I tried to calm the crowd but the crowd became more violent then someone beat AKP Rudi Wira and kicked his motorbike so it fell and was late escape (save yourself)," said Sambodo, Monday, April 11 evening, quoted from Antara.
