Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka asked the police to thoroughly investigate the case of throwing a bus with Persis after competing with Persita Tangerang some time ago. President Jokowi's first son also wants a deterrent effect for the perpetrators.

"Essentially, the National Police Chief and I continue to coordinate this issue. There must be firm action. If left unchecked, there will continue to be like that, it will not stop," said Gibran as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, January 30.

In this incident, he continued, someone must be suspected so that there is a deterrent effect from the perpetrators of the throwing.

"Yes, whatever party is involved. I will return it to the police chief again," he added.

The first son of President Joko Widodo regretted the incident that should not have happened. Moreover, currently, domestic football is being highlighted after the Kanjuruhan Stadium Tragedy, Malang, East Java, which occurred in October 2022.

"Yes, just imagine, all the way to their place, go home, after the game, I'm tired, I'm still throwing stones. What did it feel like?" he said.

When asked about the existence of Persis Surakarta players who were suspected of chasing and hitting the perpetrators of the throwing, Gibran invited the police to investigate it.

"If something is wrong with our players, yes, I'm sorry, we are fair, please check it. The player who pursues, beatings, yes, must apologize and cooperate if an examination is carried out. It is a problem or not, the police chief will decide later," he said.

Regarding an apology, Gibran said all parties must apologize. "I'm wrong," he added.

Meanwhile, to maintain the condition of football in the country, he said all parties must coordinate.

"From security, management, supporters, basically we want street football, don't keep like this. There's no ball, no entertainment. Get along," said Gibran.
