Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, confirmed that he would impose sanctions on his subordinates who were suspected of bullying the Bajaj driver.

The witness was in the form of dismissal for other individual service provider officers (PJLP) or disciplinary punishment for the state civil apparatus (ASN).

"The sanction must be firm. If it is proven that the person concerned committed extortion and the person concerned is PJLP, I will stop it. If the ASN is concerned, of course, strict sanctions will be imposed in accordance with the work law," said Syafrin in the Gelora Bung Karno area, Central Jakarta, Sunday, June 29.

Syafrin said he had known who the DKI Transportation Agency team was on duty at the burglary site, the Salemba area, Central Jakarta, at the time of the incident. They will be questioned tomorrow.

Even so, Syafrin admitted that he did not know for sure who the person in the DKI Transportation Agency team was responsible for the burglary case.

This is because the instructions in the viral video only show the Dishub crane without showing the faces of its members. So, the DKI Transportation Agency still had to check every person in the team in charge of carrying the crane at the time of the incident.

"We immediately identified the vehicle used, where it is located, so we can find anyone who is an officer of one of these units. Because in one team there are four officers, we don't know who is in the unit," explained Syafrin.

"Because yesterday was a holiday, we will carry out an examination no later than Monday against the person concerned," he added.

For information, a video has gone viral on social media showing a Bajaj driver buying cigarettes at a hawker.

After that, the middle-aged bajaj driver rushed to the DKI Transportation Agency crane and handed over a pack of the cigarettes he had just bought.

Shortly after the cigarettes were received, the crane, which had stopped at the side of the road, immediately drove back and left the bajaj driver.

The Bajaj driver's colleague who recorded the video then explained that this burglary case had occurred repeatedly. He was quite surprised by the behavior of the Dishub person.

"The Bajaj driver deposits the same (members) of the Transportation Agency every day. That's the (member) of the Transportation Agency, using a car, wearing a uniform, still malak with the bajaj driver," he said.

The Bajaj driver who heard the statement, after being forced to spend money to buy a pack of cigarettes as a deposit, could only cry. "(Dipak) street thugs," he said.
