JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR RI from the Gerindra faction, Muhammad Rahul, supports the decisive steps taken by the Riau Police Chief, Inspector General Herry Heryyawan, regarding the beating incident carried out by debt collectors or debt collectors at the Bukit Raya Police Sector yard, Pekanbaru, on Saturday, April 19.

In the viral incident, as many as 11 debt collectors beat a woman and damaged her car right in front of the Bukit Raya police station.

However, some police officers who were at the location only recorded the incident without taking any precautions.

As a result of the incident, the Riau Police Chief then removed the Head of the Evidence Raya Police, Kompol Syafnil.

Rahul considered that the decision was the right step and showed the police's commitment to upholding the law fairly and decisively.

"I fully support the steps taken by the Riau Police Chief. The removal of the Bukit Raya Police Chief is a very necessary step to improve the image of the police institution, which should always be responsive in dealing with situations that threaten public order and security," said Rahul, Tuesday, April 22.

Rahul, who also serves as Chairman of the Gerindra Party DPD of Riau Province, said the incident also revealed the importance of swift leadership in dealing with emergency situations.

"The action taken by the Riau Police Chief is proof that the police do not tolerate negligence or actions that harm the community. This is a form of responsibility that must be taken to improve supervision and law enforcement," he continued.

Rahul also appreciated the efforts of the police who had arrested the four perpetrators. Meanwhile, the other seven perpetrators are still being chased.

"A quick and precise law enforcement is a reflection of our police professionalism. I am sure that with this step taken, the public will again trust the police's ability to protect them," he said.

As a member of Commission III of the DPR RI in charge of law and security, Rahul is committed to continuing to support steps that strengthen the law enforcement system in Indonesia.

"I will continue to monitor the ongoing legal process, and ensure that the perpetrators get appropriate punishment in accordance with applicable law," said Rahul.

Rahul also appealed to the public to continue to support the police in maintaining security and order, and to play an active role in preventing similar incidents in the future.

"Let us together maintain security and order, and provide support to law enforcement officials in carrying out their duties properly," he concluded.
