The man admitted that the police continued to rebuke the media crews so as not to cover the student demonstration. The prohibition occurred outside the school fence or in a public area.

"There's nothing to do. Don't take pictures, I'm gone. I'm also a member," said the man in a batik shirt while issuing a police KTA to reporters at the location.

According to information compiled, the man in the batik shirt is not an active police officer. He is known to be a retired member of the National Police with the last rank of Ipda and has served at the Duren Sawit Police.

It is known that SMA and Vocational School (PR) 2 students held demonstrations in the school field area. The demonstration was the result of a number of problems at the school which harmed the students.
