BANDUNG - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) Operational Area (Daop) 2 Bandung said that the employee who was arrested and detained by the Cianjur Police on June 11, 2024, related to methamphetamine, was an employee of the KAI power transfer. Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 2 Bandung Ayep Hanapi emphasized that his party fully handed over the legal process to the police, as well as for guidance to outsourced parties or transfer of power as employers. "We deeply regret this incident. Because the person concerned is an outsourced employee, the guidance is handed over to third parties as vendors working with KAI in the field of labor service providers," said Ayep in Bandung, Antara, Thursday, June 13. Ayep said that his party was very disappointed and concerned about this incident, because it did not reflect the values of the company. And as a step to expedite the investigation, KAI asked the service provider to replace the personnel concerned. "To launch the investigation process, KAI asked the vendors to replace the personnel suspected of being involved in the distribution of the methamphetamine to be replaced with other personnel," said Ayep. KAI, he added, is committed to playing an active role and supporting the government's efforts to prevent drug abuse. This was realized by the signing of the MoU between KAI and the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) in the context of Prevention and Eradication of the Abuse and Circulation of Narcotics Darks and Narcotics Precursors at the Jakarta Railway Center (JRC) Building, Central Jakarta on August 3, 2016. In addition, there have been many various joint activities in various activities between KAI and BNN in terms of socializing the prevention of drug abuse within KAI and train passengers. "KAI periodically continues to socialize the values of the company so that no employees are involved in criminal acts, in order to maintain comfortable, safe, and timely rail mass transportation services," said Ayep. Previously, personnel from the Narcotics Investigation Unit (Satnarkoba) of the Cianjur Police, West Java, arrested an employee of the Indonesian Railway JJ Unit (KAI) Daop 2 Bandung FS (30) when he was about to pick up a package of methamphetamine in Ciranjang Village, Ciranjang District, Tuesday (11/6). Kasatnarkoba Cianjur Police AKP Septian Pratama in Cianjur Wednesday, said that the arrest of KAI employees who served in Cianjur began with reports from residents who were suspicious of the perpetrators' movements who wanted to take the methamphetamine package hidden in cigarette packs. "Regarding the report, we sent members to the location who saw a man riding a motorbike back and forth at a location near the elementary school building," he said. Not long after, the man took a cigarette pack that was thrown over the back of the school, finding that the officers immediately made arrests, the arrested perpetrators did not move. After a search was carried out from the perpetrator's pocket, it was found that a cigarette pack containing a package of methamphetamine weighing 4.75 grams was suspected of being circulated to a number of users in Cianjur, while from the perpetrator's bag it was found a jacket that reads JJ Daop 2 Bandung (Jalan Unit and Daop 2 Bridge Bandung).

"We just found out that the suspect, an employee of PT KAI, after searching his bag, found a jacket that reads JJ Daop 2 Bandung, the results of the investigation by the perpetrator officers wanted to resell the illicit goods to a number of users in Cianjur," he added. He explained that currently the suspect is still undergoing investigation at the Cianjur Police Narcotics Unit, for development and arresting a large dealer who supplies methamphetamine to the suspect, where his party has pocketed his identity.
