JAKARTA - The National Police's Professional and Security Division (Propam) has investigated five West Jakarta Metro Police investigators and Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi on suspicion of assault during the interrogation process. Lutfi admitted that he was electrocuted by investigators when he was questioned in the case of throwing stones at the police during a demonstration at the DPR compound last year.

"So the team now wants to lay out the case. The title of the case is based on the findings," said Head of Public Relations DivHumas Polri Kombes Asep Adi Saputra in Jakarta, Wednesday, January 29.

He explained that Lutfi was a suspect in the stone-throwing case at the police. Determination of this suspect is based on the evidence found as well as the testimony of witnesses, and CCTV footage at the scene of the incident.

"Digital evidence is undeniable, there is CCTV footage showing Lutfi's activities. So, his determination as a suspect is indeed supported by various evidence, not random," said Asep.

A few days ago, the National Police Chief, General Idham Aziz, said that he would form a special team to follow up on information about the violence experienced by Dede Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi.

"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. This is because, in his trial, Lutfi admitted to being electrocuted to admit he threw stones at the police during the STM demonstration 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.

Dede Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi is a young man whose photo is viral because he carries a flag in the middle of a demonstration by STM students. He 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.

Lutfi said the electrocution carried out by the investigators lasted for about 30 minutes. Apart from electric shocks, Lutfi also admitted to experiencing other torture while undergoing questioning at the Central Jakarta Metro Police.
