JAKARTA - The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) asked the Polda Metro Jaya to thoroughly investigate the fire case at Cyber 1 Building on Jalan Kuningan Barat Number 8 on December 2, 2021 because two interns were killed in the incident. "We will send a letter of clarification to the Polda Metro Jaya," said member of Kompolnas Poengky Indarti, quoting Antara, Friday, August 9.

Poengky said this was in line with his request to the South Jakarta Police to continue the case.

"Because the South Jakarta Police suddenly issued a warrant to stop the investigation (SP3) in that case," he said.

Therefore, his party will write to the Metro Jaya Police for the news of the termination of the Cyber 1 Building investigation.

He will learn more about this decision before giving an official further response. "I study it first," he said.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) Sugeng Teguh Santoso, assessed that there were irregularities and demanded an explanation of the decision. "The termination of the investigation must be accompanied by legally acceptable reasons," said Sugeng.

Sugeng stressed that the fire was caused by an electrical short from a squeezed AC cable, showing serious negligence.

He highlighted the issuance of SP3 without notification to the families of the victims who were entitled to transparent information about the investigation.

"Families are entitled to transparent information regarding this investigation," he added.

Meanwhile, the families of the victims, Seto Fachrudin's parents and Muhammad Redzuan Gaddafi admitted that they felt neglected. Redzuan's father, Beno expressed his disappointment because he did not receive official information about SP3.

"We have not received clarity regarding the results of the investigation," said Beno.

Likewise, Jono, Seto's father, also demanded further information about SP3 status.

The victim's family hopes that the authorities will provide a transparent explanation of the termination of this case and straighten out the situation. Previously, the Head of the Public Relations Section of the South Jakarta Police, AKP Nurma Dewi, said that his party would examine information regarding the SP3 case of the Cyber 1 Building fire.
