The NTT Police intervened to investigate the alleged beating of a member of the West Manggarai Resort Police (Polres) by the West Manggarai Police Chief AKBP Felli Hermanto in Labuan Bajo.
"We will investigate more deeply why this happened," said NTT Police Chief Inspector General Johanis Asadoma when met by reporters at the West Manggarai Police, Antara, Thursday, January 26.
A member of the Bripka police officer with the initials SR is receiving treatment at Siloam Labuan Bajo Hospital, after allegedly getting punches and kicks from the West Manggarai Police Chief at the West Manggarai Police Headquarters Guard Post.
According to Johanis, the incident was an internal matter for the police chief and subordinates, so it needed to be resolved amicably between the two parties so that the situation became conducive and comfortable.
However, he denied that the beating of subordinates was part of the standard operating procedure (SOP) that was running inside the Police.
"SOPs are not," he said in response to reporters' questions.
Johanis hopes that the problem can be resolved properly between the police chief and the police officer concerned by looking at the facts.
"It was resolved so that it didn't happen again," said Johanis.
The NTT Police Chief visited the victim at Siloam Labuan Bajo Hospital. The victim complained of headaches and chest pain from blows and kicks on the victim's body.
"I have submitted it to the leadership (Kapolda)," said SR, after being visited by the Kapolda
