"The report has been received, ed. It is being studied," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Tuesday, April 26.

Zulpan also said that he would follow up on the report. This is because it is one of the duties of the police to uncover suspected criminal offenses.

However, they cannot explain further about the follow-up plan, such as examining witnesses and the reported party.

"Every report will be followed up," said Zulpan.

Previously, Eddy Soeparno officially reported Muannas Alaidid to Polda Metro Jaya. The report concerns allegations of defamation.

The report has been received and registered with the number STTLP/B/2107/IV/2022/SPKT/POLDA METRO JAYA dated April 25, 2022.

In the report, Muanas was suspected of violating Article 27 paragraph 3 in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph 3 of the Indonesian Law number 19 of 2016 concerning ITE and Articles 310, 311, 315 of the Criminal Code.

This report was made because Eddy Soeparno was previously policed by Ade Armando for similar allegations. The report follows Eddy Soeparno's tweet on his Twitter account. He wrote the initials AA on his Twitter account as a religious blasphemer

In fact, Eddy said his tweet was just a form of aspiration or expressing his views. Therefore, according to him, it is not defamation.

"I convey a message on social media that is part of the aspirations of the constituents that I channel. What are the aspirations of the constituents? That is the issue of law enforcement with justice," he said.
