JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Police Watch Presidium, Neta S. Pane, revealed the irregularities in the reconstruction process or the reconstruction of the clash that resulted in the shooting of six special FPI troops by the police.

"IPW saw three SOP violations committed by members of the National Police, especially in the case of the death of four FPI members in a police officer car," said Neta in his statement, Monday, December 14.

First, said Neta, the police explained that the four FPI members who were still alive, after two of their friends were shot dead and put in a police car without being handcuffed.

"This is very strange, when Rizieq himself was taken to the detention cell at Polda Metro Jaya, the authorities were handcuffed. Why were the four FPI members who had just finished shooting with the police not handcuffed when they were put into the police car? ” said Neta.

Second, Neta considers that the police effort to put the four FPI members who had just finished shooting with the police into a police car that has a capacity of eight people, which is also filled with police officers, is absurd.

Third, the Polri members who should have been trained were proven not to be promoters and unable to knock out unarmed FPI members, so the police fought at close range until the four FPI members died.

"From the three carelessness, it is clear that the police apparatus violated the SOP which caused the four FPI members to die in one car. From the explanation of the Head of the Police Public Relations Division, it can be seen how careless the police officers were, "he said.

It was previously known that the National Police conducted a reconstruction of a case involving the shooting of six laskar specifically for Rizieq Shihab's guard, which took place on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road. In this activity, 58 scenes were displayed showing from the beginning of the incident until the soldiers were given firm action by the police.

The reconstruction that was held on Monday, December 14 in the morning, was carried out at a different location. This is done to describe the real incident.

At the first location, precisely on Jalan International Karawang Barat, in front of the Novotel Hotel, at least nine scenes were exhibited. This scene reconstruction depicts the beginning of the clash between the police and Rizieq Shihab's special laskar.

At first, several police officers in a silver Toyota Avanza were blocked by two army cars, namely a silver Avanza and a gray Chevrolet Spin.

Then, one of the cars carrying the army crashed into a police car. Furthermore, the car immediately stepped on the gas to escape.

Furthermore, another paramilitary car, the Chevrolet Spin, immediately blocked a police car. Four members of the army immediately got out of the car.

Those carrying sharp weapons then attacked the officer's car. Several times the four members of the laskar hit their guns at the police car.

With this warning shot, the four members of the army who had previously carried out the attack decided to return to their car. But the two laskar who were previously only in the car got out and shot the police car three times.

So, the police returned the shots. But the two soldiers immediately got back into the chevrolet. Then they fled.

Continuing to the second location, namely, on the Badami Bridge, at least four scenes were demonstrated.

In this part of the reconstruction, it shows the Chevrolet Spin carrying 6 members of the army, being overtaken by an officer car from the left side.

Here a laskar is said to have shot at the police. The shooting was carried out by opening the glass and pointing a gun at one of the officers in the car.

"When we were together because Officer C saw the perpetrator (Laskar) shoot one, Officer C returned the shots at the perpetrator," said the officer.

Then, two police officers, officers C and A who were seated in the middle seat, fired back fire. The gunfire stopped when the police car slowed down.

The shooting occurred again when the police car began to approach the car of the soldiers from the right side. Officer B at that time shot the Chevrolet car driven by the soldiers.

"Then the perpetrator's Chevrolet car opened the glass and pointed a gun at the officer. Officers B and C fired at the perpetrator," said the officer.

The shooting at each other and the chasing that occurred again stopped, because the officer's car was blocked by a passing truck and left far from the cars of the soldiers.

The scene continues to the third location, namely the Rest Area KM 50 Tol Jakarta-Cikampek. The car driven by the army initially entered the rest area. But it is not known what their purpose there is.

It's just that, when they were about to get out their car was blocked by another car. So, the officers succeeded in chasing the laskar.

At that time, the police surrounded Laskar's car. They asked four members of the army to get out of the car and get down. Meanwhile, two other members of the laskar were injured by gunfire.

Then, the officers searched the car. As a result, firearms, sickles, wooden sticks and catapults were found. So, the four laskar and the butki goods were put into the officer's car.

Director of General Crimes (Dirtipidum) Bareskrim Polri Brig. Gen. Andi Rian said the two laskar were shot when officers fired back at the previous location.

"Once successfully blocked (intercepted), it was found that two of the perpetrators were injured," said Brigadier General Andi.

The two wounded soldiers were then taken by the officers' avanza car. Meanwhile, 4 other Laskar, taken in a Daihatsu Xenia car belonging to another officer, arrived at the rest area to help the officers.

The last location in the reconstruction is the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 51 + 200 toll road. From the re-enactment of the scene, it was found that four special FPI paramilitary troops who were brought in using Daihatsu Xenia were shot by the police for trying to seize the officers' weapons.

"I try to explain that TKP 4 is a continuation of what happened at TKP 3 (rest area km 50). The scene at TKP 3, four perpetrators who were still alive were secured into a car with the aim of being taken by investigators to Polda Metro Jaya," said Brig. Andi.

Andi said the four members of the laskar were assigned different positions. Three at the back and one in the middle. But they weren't all handcuffed.

With that condition, the paramilitary troops fought back. They tried to grab the officer's weapon. So that finally ended with a decision to take decisive action.

"There was an attempt to seize a member 's weapon from the perpetrator in the car. So that the four perpetrators in the car experienced decisive and measured action from the existing members. After the incident was apparently in a wounded condition, he was immediately taken to Kramat Jati Hospital, Police," he said.
