JAKARTA - The leader of the Khilafatul Muslimin, Abdul Qadir Baraja, arrived at Polda Metro Jaya after being arrested in Lampung. He was closely monitored by the police.

According to VOI monitoring, Abdul arrived at 16.17 WIB. He is seen wearing a white skullcap and a striped long-sleeved shirt in green and black.

Abdul arrived at Polda Metro Jaya under tight guard. There are 6 police officers on the left and right.

The escort was carried out since Abdul got out of the car up to the General Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditkrimum) building. Not a word was spoken from Abdul.

Abdul Qadir Baraja was arrested in Lampung. In fact, his current status has become a suspect in the alleged case of spreading false news.

"Yes, indeed for the arrester of KM (Khilafatul Muslimi, ed) yes, then the suspect has been detained under the initials AB," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo to reporters, Tuesday, June 7.

In this case, Abdul Qadir Baraja was charged with three articles, including the Ormas Law (UU), the Electronic Information and Transaction (ITE) Law, and Law No. 1/1946.

"About the spread of false news that causes a commotion. All of that will be investigated by investigators," said Dedi.

The application of this article is because Abdul Qadir Baraja has links to the motorcycle convoy in Cawang, East Jakarta, and Brebes, Central Java.

In the convoy, the participants who were members of the Khilafatul Muslimin distributed poster leaflets. The content is a narrative that echoes hatred against the legitimate government.

"This will later have a relationship, now that connection will be assessed again, further deepened," said Dedi.
