JAKARTA - The police evacuated a leader S (52) and a teacher, MH (29) from the Al-Qonaah Islamic Boarding School in Bekasi Regency, Friday (27/9) night for allegedly committing sexual abuse against one of the female students.

"We evacuated because there were about 300 people who demanded accountability," said North Cikarang Police Chief, Kompol Sutrisno, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, September 28.

The police deployed 20 personnel to provide security to the masses who visited the Islamic boarding school.

"Officers have also coordinated with community leaders, such as the Head of Karangmukti Village, Sumardi and the Head of Karangsatu Village, Sarim, who were also present to calm the masses," he said.

However, the crowd continued to grow, until 19.00 WIB he arrived at the location, followed by Kasat Samapta AKBP J. Sihombing and Head of Intelligence Commissioner Victor Berliyantho, who appealed to residents not to take illegal actions.

After a long negotiation, at 21.00 WIB, the police managed to evacuate the suspected perpetrators S and MH from the location.

"Both of them were immediately taken to the Bekasi Metro Police under strict supervision by the Criminal Investigation Unit and the Precision Samapta Team for further investigation to reveal all the truth behind this alleged obscenity." said Sutrisno.

Deputy Director of Intelligence and Security (Intelkam) Polda Metro Jaya AKBP Ardiansyah, who arrived at the location at 21.50 WIB, also gave instructions for tightened security around the hut to avoid potential destruction or looting.

The data states that the Al-Qonaah Islamic Boarding School has been around since 2020 and only has two teachers.

This case caused the activity at the pesantren to be completely stopped and it is suspected that many victims of sexual abuse had not dared to report this incident because they felt afraid and embarrassed.
