JAKARTA - Member of Commission I DPR RI By Soleh, responded to the death of Prada Lucky Chepril Saputra Namo, who was allegedly killed by his senior at the Wakanga Development Territorial Dormitory, Mere, Nagekeo, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

Soleh asked the Indonesian National Army (TNI) to thoroughly investigate this case in a transparent manner, and impose severe sanctions on the perpetrators.

"This incident is very concerning. There should be no omission. The perpetrator must be tried and punished accordingly," Soleh told reporters, Friday, August 8.

"Violence in the TNI must no longer occur. Nothing should be covered up. Investigations must be carried out transparently," continued the PKb legislator in the West Java XI electoral district.

Soleh emphasized that this kind of incident not only violated the law, but also damaged the image and honor of the TNI institution.

"Prida Lucky's death really tarnished the good name of the Indonesian Army. The TNI is the guardian of the country's sovereignty. Discipline and the spirit of the Korsa should be a positive force, not used to commit violence against fellow soldiers," he said.

According to Soleh, military police must move quickly to investigate and uncover the case. The TNI, he said, must also immediately announce who is the perpetrator of the violence among the soldiers.

"The perpetrators must be immediately dragged to the court to account for their actions," said Soleh.

"We are all saddened by the death of Prada Lucky. The families of the victims have the right to justice. The TNI must prove that they firmly take action against its members who are guilty, indiscriminately," he added.

The member of the defense commission also asked the TNI Commander, General Agus Subiyanto to ensure that the culture of violence in the dormitories and TNI units is eradicated to the roots.

"It is necessary to improve the soldier's coaching system, including strict internal law enforcement, so that similar incidents do not happen again in the future," concluded Soleh.

As reported, photos and videos circulated showing Prada Lucky's body covered with bruises and bruises. There are also wounds such as stabs in his legs and back.

The victim was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the Aeramo Regional General Hospital, Nagekeo Regency, but was later declared dead on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

Prada Lucky himself is a member of the TNI who has just graduated from two months of education. After officially becoming a member of the TNI, he was immediately placed in the 843 Development Battalion. The Battalion only arrived in Nagekeo for about a month to assist community development in the area.
