The National Police responded to the alleged case of spreading false news about the non-neutral police in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) which made Aiman Witjaksono a reported person. The spokesman for the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD was asked to undergo a legal process.

"What is clear is that every act must be accounted for, so that legal procedures also run," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Shandi Nugroho to reporters, Tuesday, December 5.

It was only said that this matter would be confirmed with the Polda Metro Jaya.

Apart from that, Shandi emphasized that the public would find or receive information about the non-negligibility of members of the National Police in the 2024 General Election to be reported immediately. So, it will be followed up in accordance with applicable regulations.

"If there are police personnel who do not comply with the provisions, report them. Propam is waiting, Propam Headquarters, Propam Polda, Propam Polres, so don't create other issues," said Shandi.
