Head of Public Relations of the South Jakarta Metro Police, AKP Nurma Dewi revealed the motive of a police officer, Kompol MBS, to beat an online taxi driver, Rizki Fitrianda, just because of a misunderstanding.

He explained that when the incident occurred, the reported party and the complainant had an argument in the car until they finally beat him.

"The motive is communication, misunderstanding and communication. So between the two drivers who are clear, then also with passengers, that is clearly a misunderstanding of communication," Nurma told reporters at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Wednesday, November 6.

Currently, the police are still investigating Bambang and Rizki regarding the abuse.

"We have summoned or asked for information from the alleged perpetrator. Then today we have also asked for information from the victim," he said.

Chronology of the beating began when the perpetrator was angry with RF because he wanted to change the route. The car driven by RF finally hit another car. As a result, there was a fight between the two.

"The perpetrator was angry when he was about to change the initial destination route so that he hit the car in front of him, so there was a debate until the perpetrator hit the victim," he said.

Previously, the Maluku Police Chief, Inspector General Eddy Sumitro Tambunan, removed Kompol MBS from the position of Head of Sub-Directorate of Gakkum Ditlantas Polda Maluku following the beating of an online taxi driver in the South Jakarta area a few days ago.

Kompol MBS was then transferred to Pamen Yanma Polda Maluku. The criminal process is also confirmed to continue at the South Jakarta Metro Police.

"As an initial measure for the person concerned, Kompol Bambang has been transferred to Pamen Yanma for examination," said the Head of the Maluku Regional Police, Kombes Aries Aminullah.

Aries explained that the stabbing of an online taxi driver occurred when Kompol Bambang was on leave. He was in Jakarta to get married.

According to Aries, the woman in the video is the future wife of Kompol Bambang. Even now, she is still in Jakarta.
