The detention of Ahmad Muhdlor Ali was carried out on the basis of investigation needs. The time of detention can be added if the investigator needs additional time to complete the case file. "For investigation needs, ” said Johanis The detention was carried out after Muhdlor was absent twice from the investigator's summons. This forced effort was carried out after the Sidoarjo regent attended the examination voluntarily. Meanwhile, the KPK named three suspects in the case of cutting ASN funds in Sidoarjo. They are Ahmad Muhdlor Ali, Head of BPPD Sidoarjo Ari Suryono and Head of the General Subdivision and Personnel of BPPD Sidoarjo Siska Wati. Siska was named a suspect after being caught by the KPK along with Rp69.9 million in nearby money. Meanwhile, Ari became a suspect some time after the investigators carried out the development of the case. The money was related to allegations of corruption in the form of deductions and receipts of money at the BPPD of Sidoarjo Regency. He was arrested when he was about to receive the money. The Rp69.9 million funds confiscated by investigators were only a small part of the total money that Siska had received. He is estimated to have received Rp2.7 billion, and carried out the dirty game during 2023. In this case, Siska is suspected of having cut incentive funds for some state civil servants (ASN) in Sidoarjo Regency unilaterally.

Siska also reported the fund cuts verbally to a number of ASN. He also asked the civil servants not to discuss the dirty game in WhatsApp conversations.
