JAKARTA - Bareksrim Polri will investigate information about 2 passengers of Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 from West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) who use someone else's identity or ID card.

The investigation was carried out in coordination with the Population and Civil Registry Service (Duscakpil).

"So we understand that we will coordinate with the NTB Regional Police and will later ask Disdukcapil whether there is really any information or reports about Sriwijaya aircraft passengers using ID cards that do not belong to them," said Head of Penum, Police Public Relations Division, Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan to reporters, Monday, 11 January.

So far, said Ramadhan, the process of tracing or investigating is still about collecting data on dozens of passengers on the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft.

"Until now, we are still exploring this matter and the joint investigation team from the TNI, Basarnas and other related elements is still collecting data on the victims," he said.

In addition, the Disaster Identification (DVI) team is still collecting antemortem data for passengers on the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft. So, later the data can be compared with the information that is currently emerging.

"The DVI team is working and continues to collect antemortem data related to ID cards or identities related to passengers from the Sriwijaya plane, whether there is a match between the data and the status of the victim who was declared identified," he said.

The Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 aircraft on the Jakarta-Pontianak route lost contact in the Thousand Islands shortly after taking off from Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Cengkareng on Saturday, January 9, 2020.

Furthermore, the plane was confirmed to have crashed between Male Island and Lancang Island, Thousand Islands.

The plane carried 62 people, including 12 crew members and 50 passengers. The 50 passengers consisted of 40 adult passengers, seven children and three babies.

Furthermore, the National Police is currently opening antiemortem posts in two different places, namely in Pontianak and at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital.

The post at the Police Hospital operates 24 hours. So, the families of passengers who want to provide specific data or information related to the passengers of the unlucky plane can come to the post.
