After being asked for information, Subakti Syukur did not talk much about what the Komnas HAM team asked. He explained about the technical problems experienced by surveillance cameras or CCTV on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road during the shooting incident.

He said, there were 23 CCTV cameras on the toll road that did not record images due to technical problems. Meanwhile, CCTV at KM 43 to KM 72 experienced technical problems in the form of being unable to transmit data and being unable to record events for several hours due to weather problems.

"The CCTV is still functioning, but the data transmission has been interrupted. Only 24 CCTVs from KM 49 to 72. That is only the one in the lane. At the gate, and others, previously there were 23 cameras," he said at the Komnas HAM office after undergoing examination .

Komnas HAM homework

Although it has found new evidence in the form of projectiles and asked for information from a number of parties, including the Head of the Metro Jaya Police, Inspector General Fadil Imran, it is considered that Komnas HAM still has homework to complete.

The Executive Director of the Setara Institute, Ismail Hasani, said that currently Komnas HAM has a job to make light on the shooting case that took place in the early hours of the morning. There are things that he thinks need to be further investigated, namely the existing situation that makes the police have to pull the trigger of their rifles.

"The most important thing is the situation in the vehicle when the security forces feel attacked. The degree of the threat is like what. I think it needs to be found because that's where the product of justification or violation can be concluded as to what level of threat was concluded by the police," said Ismail when contacted by VOI.

In addition, Komnas HAM is deemed necessary to summon a number of parties related to this case. Not only that, they are also deemed necessary to summon expert witnesses such as forensic experts and continue with reconstruction to find out whether there is any difference from what was done by the police.

"But of course this is done after Komnas HAM has sufficient evidence or sufficient case construction. So that it can be concluded," he said.

"I hope Komnas HAM can become an alternative report that sheds light on this incident," he concluded.
