JAKARTA - The National Police Chief, General Idham Aziz, will form a special team to follow up on information about the violence experienced by Dede Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi. This team will later be led by the Head of Propam Polri Inspector General Pol Ignatius Sigit Widiatmono.

"Yes, there will be a Head of Propam Division. We will check the team if the police really did that," said Idham in Jakarta, Friday, January 24.

He ensured that his members would be punished if it was proven that there was violence against Lutfi during interrogation. Because, in his trial, Lutfi admitted to being electrocuted to admit that he threw stones at the police during a demonstration by STM students at the parliament complex some time ago.

"If it is true I have asked for stern action. If it is also not true, that is a confession, it can also be material for slander of course. So it could be a boomerang for those concerned," said Idham.

Previously, Dede Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi, a young man whose photo went viral for carrying a flag in the middle of an STM student demonstration, admitted that he was electrocuted by investigators to admit to throwing stones at the police during the action. The admission was presented before a judge during a trial at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, January 20.

In his statement, it was stated that the electrocution action by investigators lasted for about 30 minutes. In addition, Luthfi also admitted to experiencing other torture while undergoing an examination at the Central Jakarta Metro Police.
