DENPASAR - The head of the Kuta Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Iptu MDP, was suspected of being positive for ecstasy after undergoing a urine test during a sudden inspection conducted by the Narcotics Investigation Directorate together with the Bali Police's Professional and Security Division.

Head of Public Relations of the Bali Police, Kombes Ariasandy, said the police officer was now secured and undergoing an examination at the Propam Unit of the Bali Police for alleged drug abuse.

MDP was caught during a surprise and closed examination by summoning a number of members as samples to undergo a urine test at the Bali Police Headquarters on June 8, 2026.

"This activity took place simultaneously and suddenly. We called several members for urine sample tests. From the results of the examination, one member was indicated to be positive," said Ariasandy as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 7.

The urine test was carried out by the Narcotics and Propam Division of the Bali Police. The examination not only targeted a number of members, but also the leaders of the Bali Police.

"Some time ago, urine tests were also carried out on the Bali Police Chief, the Bali Police Chief, and all the main officials of the Bali Police," he said.

Ariasandy explained that the urine test results showed that MDP was positive for ecstasy-type narcotics.

However, regarding how long MDP has used narcotics or where they obtained the goods, Ariasandy was unable to provide an explanation because it was still being investigated by Propam investigators.

"If that is, I have to ask first about the depth. The most important thing is that when the urine is tested, the result is positive using ecstasy," he said.

The former Head of Public Relations of the NTT Police said MDP was still being detained and being investigated by the Propam Unit of the Bali Police.

MDP is also still listed as the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Kuta Police. However, his position status will be evaluated according to the results of the examination and the level of violation committed.

According to Ariasandy, members who are proven to have violated will undergo disciplinary and code of ethics processes for the police profession.

In addition, it is not impossible to impose criminal sanctions or dismissal without honor (PTDH) if the level of violation meets the provisions.

"It depends on the level of violation committed. The penalty can be disciplinary, code of ethics, even dismissal or criminal prosecution," he added.

Ariasandy added that over the past two years, the Bali Police have not imposed disciplinary sanctions or dismissal against members involved in drug abuse.

However, internal checks will continue to be tightened so that similar cases do not recur.

He emphasized that the Bali Police were committed to cleaning the internal from drug abuse. Random urine tests will continue to be carried out on personnel throughout the ranks, both at the level of the police, police and police station.

"Hopefully, with the members we are following this will have a deterrent effect so that members do not do or try to do the same thing," he said.
