The Cianjur Resort Police, West Java, revealed that the Head of Mentengsari Village, Cikalongkulon District, with the initials S (32) as the mastermind behind the burning of a car belonging to a candidate for the legislature of the DPR RI in front of the winning post in Pacet District, Saturday (17/2).

Cianjur Police Chief AKBPAszhari Kurniawan said the police had previously arrested three perpetrators of burning legislative cars, namely S, A and AS from a number of separate locations on Sunday (25/2), after conducting an investigation and receiving testimony from eyewitnesses.

"The three perpetrators had different tasks, but after a random examination, the mastermind behind the arson was S alias Soemantri who was still active as village head (kades)," said the Police Chief as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 28.

From the results of the examination, it was revealed that the perpetrator S was determined to carry out arson by involving two other perpetrators because he was hurt and held grudges against the DPR candidate who no longer involved himself as a successful team in the 2024 election.

"The perpetrator's brain was once involved as a successful team in the 2019 election and at that time the candidate from PKB was re-elected. However, there were a number of unfinished calculations, plus in the 2024 election the person concerned was no longer involved," he said.

Suspect S, who felt hurt, then took two other perpetrators to burn a car parked in the winning post yard with the hope that the C Results collected by the team caught fire.

Selain menangkap ketiga pelaku, polisi juga mengamankan sejumlah barang bukti, yakni satu unit mobil Toyota Alphard warna putih bernomor polisi B 1491 BVC, jerigen berisi sisa bahan bakar minyak, korek api gas, dan sejumlah telepon genggam milik tersangka.

"The three suspects are subject to Article 187 (1) of the Criminal Code with a penalty of 12 years in prison," he said.

Investigators are still investigating the case because it is suspected that there are other parties who are the masterminds of the arson that panicked the success team and residents around the winning post in Palasari Village, Pacet District.

"We are still investigating, there may be other suspects, but we are still digging for information from witnesses and suspects," he said.

Previously, the West Java Regional Police together with the Cianjur Resort Police arrested three suspected perpetrators of burning a car belonging to the Indonesian DPR candidate participating in the 2024 General Election in Pacet District, from two different locations in Cianjur's jurisdiction, Sunday (25/2).
