JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo said the alleged blasphemy case involving the head of Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School, Panji Gumilang, was under investigation. In the process, Bareskrim will be professional.

"Yes, I think Bareskrim is carrying out an investigation," said Sigit in Medan, North Sumatra, Wednesday, July 5.

However, Sigit did not explain further about the stages that have been carried out by investigators in investigating the case.

The former Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police only asked the public to wait for the results of the investigation that was being carried out.

"We'll just have to wait for the results," said Sigit.

In this case, Bareskrim decided to increase the status of the case to an investigation. Some time ago, Panji Gumilang was also examined as the reported person.

Director of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Djuhandhani Rahardjo said during the examination Panji Gumilang had acknowledged all his statements circulating in the form of videos.

Meanwhile, from one of the videos circulating on social media, Panji Gumilang said that the Al-Quran was a essay by the Prophet Muhammad.

"The person concerned answered all of them and admitted that what was in the video was true was a statement and it was true what was done by the person concerned," said Djuhandhani.
