Currently, the perpetrators have been taken to the Serang Police for examination.

In this case, perpetrator D was not a figure who trampled, but one of the people in the group who modified the video with writing.

"Si D did or wrote a statement demeaning one of the religions. So he didn't make a video," he said.

It is suspected that the group is people who often commit blasphemy. However, the police are still investigating this news.
