The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police has examined PKS politician Bukhori Yusuf in investigating a case of alleged domestic violence (KDRT) against his second wife with the initials M. In addition, five other witnesses have been questioned. "Investigators have examined 6 witnesses, the witness is BY's own brother, then the wife of BY's brother," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters, Monday, June 26. Then, investigators have also examined the driver and his wife, as well as the son of Bukhori Yusuf. There is also a reception person from a hotel in Bandung who is also a witness. However, the results of the examination of these witnesses were not detailed. So far, only conveyed when investigators are coordinating with Kramat Jati Hospital to get the results of the post-mortem. Later, the data will be used as one of the grounds to determine whether or not there is a criminal offense. "The results of the medical records and post-mortem at the Kramat Jati Hospital are to explore the case," said Ramadhan For information, Bukhori Yusuf was reported by M to the Bandung Police in November 2022. Over time or May 9, 2023, the investigation process was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. Bukhori Yusuf through his attorney, Ahmad Mihdan, has provided clarification on cases of alleged domestic violence (KDRT). Ahmad Mihdan regretted the news which only contained one source from MY, as the reporter, because it contained non-objective and accurate information. "By's Legal Team regrets the news that only takes from one source, namely MY, which we value contains information that is not objective and accurate, thus cornering BY as our client," said Ahmad According to him, the inaccurate news regarding the affairs of his client and his ex-wife Siri is a personal matter and should not be exploited by irresponsible parties. "This has also become public consumption and has created wild perceptions in the community and caused a commotion," he added. Ahmad assessed that what MY had done was too far; because based on evidence in the legal process at the Bandung Polrestabes there was no evidence to show that Bukhori Yusuf had committed a criminal act. The report submitted by MY is a minor crime of persecution referring to Article 352 of the Criminal Code, and not domestic violence. This denies Bukhori Yusuf's accusations of committing domestic violence and this is still under investigation.

"By's legal team considers that the actions taken by MY, which seem to be a woman who is a victim, have actually hurt other women, namely the legal wife and the two daughters of our client for slander that has become public consumption and caused wild interpretations in the community," he explained. Therefore, Ahmad admitted that he had collected evidence related to the illness suffered by MY, who had been a patient at the Cibubur Drug Addiction Hospital (RSKO), East Jakarta.
