The six members of the Yogyakarta Police who were suspected of being involved in the case of Darso's death (43), a resident of Semarang, Central Java, were subject to special placement sanctions (patsus) at the Yogyakarta Special Region Police Headquarters (DIY) for 30 days.

The Head of Public Relations of the Yogyakarta Regional Police, Kombes Ihsan, said that the imposition of the sanctions was because the six police officers were suspected of violating standard operating procedures (SOPs) in handling traffic accidents involving Darso.

"It has been a week ago that we have carried out the six suspected violators of the code of ethics to be placed in a special place at the Yogyakarta Regional Police. Of course, we have been released from duty because we have placed them in a special place for 30 days," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, January 23.

Ihsan said that the six members of the Yogyakarta Police, Profession and Security Division (Bid Propam) of the Yogyakarta Police, focused on examining procedures for handling traffic accidents on July 12, 2024 involving Darso.

"Indeed, the results of the examination at the DIY Police Propam Bid found an ethical violation which is currently in the process of ethics because it is suspected of committing a violation related to the SOP in terms of handling accident," he said.

However, Kombes Ihsan emphasized that the alleged involvement of six members of the Yogyakarta Police in the case of Darso's death was fully handled by Central Java Police investigators.

According to him, the six members of the Yogyakarta Police Traffic Unit have complied with the summons of Central Java Police investigators as witnesses.

"Yesterday, there was indeed a summons from the Central Java Police investigators. Today, if I'm not mistaken, we have dispatched members to attend the examination according to the summons as witnesses," he said.

The accident that occurred on July 12, 2024 involved a motorcycle rider named Tutik Wiyanti with a car driven by Darso on Jalan Mas Suharto, Danurejan, Yogyakarta City.

Tutik yang menjadi korban dalam kecelakaan itu mengalami luka pada leher.

On the same day, the next accident occurred when Restu Yosepta Gerimona, Tutik's husband, tried to catch the car he was riding in, Darso and two of his colleagues.

At that time, Darso and his colleagues were considered trying to escape or leave their responsibility after taking Tutik to Bethesda Lempuyangwangi Hospital. The car then grazed Geri until it fell.

Geri then reported the incident to the Yogyakarta Police.

Armed with the identity of the Darso ID card which was photographed by the victim's family, six people from the Yogyakarta Police Traffic Unit Team picked up Darso in Semarang on September 21, 2024 for an investigation related to the traffic accident.

On January 10, 2025, the Darso family also reported members of the Yogyakarta Police Traffic Unit to the Central Java Regional Police on suspicion of carrying out persecution that caused Darso to die, after a few days earlier he had been hospitalized.
