The Riau Islands Regional Police (Kepri) stated that members of the Riau Islands Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) Khairurrijal who were arrested for being involved in drug cases were decided to undergo three months of rehabilitation at the local provincial BNN.
"This is based on the results of the Riau Islands BNN assessment. He is also listed as an active drug user," said Director of the Narcotics Directorate of the Riau Islands Police, Kombes Dony Alexander, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 14.
Kombes Dony said that during the three months of being rehabilitated by the Riau Islands BNN in Batam, Khairrurijal was not allowed to leave because he had to undergo an inpatient system.
In addition, he said, the Riau Islands Police had also stopped the legal process against Khairurrijal through restorative justice (RJ), in accordance with the Police Regulation (Perpol) 8 of 2021 concerning the handling of drug crimes based on restorative.
The decision was based on the results of an examination conducted by investigators from the Narcotics Directorate of the Riau Islands Police, because the person concerned was not involved as a dealer or narcotics network.
