JAKARTA - The Head of Metro Jaya Regional Police, Inspector General Fadil Imran, said that 10 people from the Special Laskar, supporters of Rizieq Shihab, attacked police officers on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road. Six people were shot dead, 4 other special laskars fled.

"Four (members of the Laskar Special) fled," said Inspector General Fadil to reporters, Monday, December 7.

But Inspector General Fadil did not explain in detail how the four special forces, Rizieq Shihab, escaped. He only said that no police officer was injured when he was attacked by Rizieq Shihab's special army. The special army shot a police car.

"The loss suffered by the officers was a vehicle that was damaged due to being intercepted and hit by gunfire," he said

With this incident, Inspector General Fadil appealed to Rizieq Shihab and his followers not to obstruct the process of investigating cases of suspected health protocol violations. The police chief emphasized that efforts to obstruct the legal process could be charged with criminals.

"I and the Pangdam appeal to the MRS and its followers not to obstruct the investigation process because this action violates the law and can be punished," he said.

As previously reported, six Special Forces supporters of Rizieq Shihab were shot dead by the police. They were shot for attacking police officers.

"The MRS group (Muhammad Rizieq Shihab) who attacked the members took firm action and died 6 people," said Inspector General Fadil.

Fadil said that the firm action against the six Special Forces began with a police investigation regarding the schedule for examining Rizieq Shihab. The police received information that there would be a mass mobilization.

But when members of the Polda Metro Jaya followed the Special Laskar vehicle, precisely on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road, they suddenly came under attack.

"When PMJ members followed vehicles suspected of being MRS followers, the officers' vehicles were intercepted and then attacked using firearms and sharp weapons," said Fadil.
