JAKARTA - Bareskrim Polri will intervene to help Polda Metro Jaya to hunt down four Special Laskar supporters of Rizieq Shihab who fled during the attack by police officers on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road.

The Head of Police Public Relations Division, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, said that Bareskrim members were also dispatched by direct orders from the Head of Criminal Investigation Division, Komjen Listiyo Sigit Prabowo.

"Kabareskrim said that Bareskrim will back up Polda Metro Jaya, looking for 4 other perpetrators who have fled until they are found," Argo said in his statement, Monday, December 7.

Apart from that, Argo also conveyed the coronology of the attack carried out by the Special Admiral. It all started with an investigation into the circulating information on social media that Rizieq's followers would come to the Polda Metro to escort the investigation process.

On that basis, the police investigated the identity of the information spreader. However, during the investigation process, members of the Polda Metro Jaya were attacked.

In fact, members of the Police who become victims will make a police report (LP). So, the police could later investigate the attack.

"That's right. Members who become victims will make a police report," said Argo.

Previously it was reported that 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 the Head of Metro Jaya Police, Inspector General Fadil Imran to reporters, Monday, December 7.

Fadil said that the firm action against the six Special Forces began with a police investigation regarding the schedule for examining Rizieq Shihab. This is because 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 a vehicle suspected of being MRS followers, the officers' vehicles were intercepted and then attacked using firearms and taham weapons," said Fadil.
