MATARAM - The West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police has deactivated AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro from the position of Head of the Bima City Police. The deactivation was carried out in conjunction with the examination that the middle-ranking police officer is currently undergoing at the National Police Headquarters.
"The Regional Police (AKBP Didik) has been deactivated," said Head of Public Relations of the NTB Police, Kombes Mohammad Kholid, through a written message on the WhatsApp application, Antara, Thursday, February 12.
Kholid did not elaborate further on the reason for the deactivation of AKBP Didik. He only confirmed that the process of examining the person concerned is currently handled directly by the National Police Headquarters.
"The investigation is being carried out at the police headquarters," he said.
Regarding the temporary replacement of the position of the Bima City Police Chief, Kholid confirmed that the position is now held by AKBP Catur Erwin Setiawan who previously served as Head of Subdirectorate III of General Criminal Investigation of the NTB Police.
"Yes, it's true (AKBP Catur)," said Kholid.
The name of AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro became the focus of public attention following the revelation of the drug case that ensnared AKP Malaungi, Head of the Narcotics Investigation Unit of the Bima City Police. In this case, AKBP Didik is suspected of receiving a flow of money worth Rp. 1 billion from a drug dealer named Koko Erwin.
In the NTB Police investigation, Koko Erwin was named as the source of 488 grams of methamphetamine seized by AKP Malaungi. The evidence was found during a search of AKP Malaungi's official residence in the Bima City Police Dormitory complex.
In addition to designating AKP Malaungi as a suspect in the drug case, the NTB Police have also imposed a Dismissal Without Honor (PTDH) sanction against the person concerned based on the decision of the Police Code of Ethics Commission meeting held on Monday, February 9.
