Metro Police Arrest TikTokers Galih Loss Allegedly Blaspheming Religion

TikTokers Galih Loss

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya arrested TikTokers Galih Loss in connection with alleged blasphemy. The arrests were made Monday, April 22. "That's right (Galih Loss) has been arrested," said Director of Special Criminal Investigation at the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Ade Safri Simanjuntak, to VOI, Tuesday, April 23. Allegations of blasphemy by Galih Loss were related to video content uploaded to his personal TikTok account, Galihoss3. Where, in one of the videos shows Galih playing guesses with a boy about animals. Galih asked what animal could recite the Koran. However, the answer of the boy who was next to the Galih was always wrong. Until finally, Galih mentioned the animal in question by embedding the sentence ta'awud. "Auuuudzubillalahiminasyaitonirojim. Is that right? What animal does that mean?" asked Galih Loss. Regarding the video, which may be the basis for the arrest, Ade did not want to convey in detail for now. One of the reasons is that investigators are still examining Galih Loss. "I will release the full details later," said Ade.
