JAKARTA - Bareskrim Polri and Polda Aceh have yet to find the exact location of the man with the initials AK who went viral because he burned the red and white flag. The perpetrator was said to live in Malaysia so that the National Police immediately coordinated with Interpol and related ministries.

"The suspect has not been found but is still in process. What is clear is that the perpetrator has been identified," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono, to reporters, Friday, February 5.

Rusdi said that in order to speed up the search for the man's whereabouts, the National Police continued to coordinate matters. Information regarding AK will continue to be monitored.

"Until now, coordination is still being carried out," he said.

This search began when a video of a man burning a red and white flag went viral on TikTok. The man burned the red and white flag by sprinkling oil or gasoline.

The man who wore a predominantly black shirt seemed to splash the liquid several times. Although the man did not speak at all, a song could be heard accompanying the burning of the flag.
