The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) revealed that it has an overview of the death of a student at SMP Afif Maulana (13) in Kuranji, Padang, West Sumatra (West Sumatra).

This was conveyed by the Daily Chairman of Kompolnas Benny Mamoto in Padang, Thursday, after inspecting the location of the incident on the Kuranji bridge at around 03.00 WIB with the West Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General Suharyono.

"Kompolnas already has an overview of the incident and an in-depth examination to conduct interviews with witnesses regarding the death of Afif Maulana," said Kompolnas, Benny Jozua Mamoto.

This investigation was carried out at exactly 03.00 in the morning, the same time the incident occurred, in order to find facts related to the incident.

The Kompolnas group arrived at the scene at 03.00 WIB, greeted by the West Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General Suharyono. The group was led by the Daily Chairman of Kompolnas Inspector General Pol (Ret.) Benny Jozua Mamoto.

On the bridge, Kompolnas received an explanation from the West Sumatra Police Chief regarding the death of Afif Maulana when personnel from the Samapta Directorate dispersed plans for the brawl of dozens of teenagers, including the location of Afif's jump according to police allegations.

West Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General Suharyono reaffirmed his commitment to impose strict sanctions if it was found that there had been a procedural error by his members. Currently, the West Sumatra Police have examined 49 witnesses, consisting of 43 police officers and six residents.

Previously, Benny Mamoto stated that he needed facts to uncover the case of the death of Afif Maulana (13), a junior high school student in Kuranji, Padang, West Sumatra (West Sumatra).

"When the issues circulating do not depart from the facts that can be proven, this will confuse the public," he said.

Benny said that's why Kompolnas as the internal supervisor of the National Police went directly to find the facts needed.

This was done to answer the confusion of issues circulating regarding the cause of the boy's death.

"We want to start from the facts, then we will sort out which ones have conformity and which ones don't," he explained.
