TULUNGAGUNG - Tulungagung Police Chief AKBP Eko Hartanto emphasized that the police could hold the head of the silat college accountable if any of its members carried out riots, acts of provocation, violence, and attacks on other groups. "This is in accordance with the 10 points of the memorandum of understanding signed by the heads of the silat college in Tulungagung," said the Police Chief in Tulungagung, Antara, Friday, January 13. In the agreement containing the 10 points, one of them stated that law enforcers who in this case the police can examine the head of the silat college if there is a beating involving members of the silat college.
