Central Lombok Police, NTB Province during the opening of the Mandalika Bypass road blocking

Central Lombok Resort Police, West Nusa Tenggara, opened a blockade of the Mandalika-Lombok Airport Bypass Road after being forcibly closed by residents of Alleyar Village, Pujut District, last Sunday. "Last night we intensively communicated with the hamlet heads. They already understand the police's problem in uncovering the case, the witness is constrained," said Central Lombok Police Chief AKBP Iwan Hidayat in Praya, Antara, Monday, January 5. Villager Anyar blocked the Mandalika Bypass road by burning used tires because the perpetrators of the molestation that killed local residents had not been arrested by the police. "The handling of the case that resulted in the death of one resident of Alleyar Village is still in process. The case has become a police report and is under investigation," he said. Iwan Hidayat admitted that he had explained to the residents of Allanyar Village about the obstacles in investigating the abuse case and that residents could accept it. After that, residents were willing to open the Mandalika Bypass road blockade on Monday morning. "Although the blockade has been opened, we are still alerting personnel at the crime scene," he added. Iwan added that his staff continues to optimize alternative investigations in uncovering cases of mistreatment of residents. Previously, hundreds of villagers Alleyanyar held a demonstration and blocked the Mandalika Bypass road on Sunday (4/2). The action was a form of slow protest against the arrest of the stabbing perpetrator which resulted in the victim's death on behalf of Amaq Alus alias Lapur. For up to two months, the stabbing perpetrators suspected of being residents of Ketare Village have not been arrested. Abduss is grateful, one of the victims' families, urged the police to immediately uncover the case and arrest the perpetrators of the persecution who had killed his family members.

"We promise not to return to demonstrations if the perpetrators of the murder have been arrested," he said.
