JAKARTA - The Head of the Central Jakarta Social Sub-dept., Ngapuli Parangin-angin, denied that the perpetrator who threw the stone with the initials UM at the JPO in front of the DPR RI Building was a scavenger.

"It's not the scavengers. It's a criminal matter for the police," he said when contacted by VOI, Monday, August 23, afternoon.

According to Kasudin, the perpetrator of the new throwing at the JPO has yet to be confirmed that he is a scavenger.

"We don't know yet whether they are scavengers or not. Are there used goods? Are scavengers identical with carts and sacks," he said.

According to Kasudinsos, the definition of scavengers is identical to carrying junk (used) goods, carts, sacks and the proceeds of collection of used goods.

"Why are the scavengers above the JPO, there are indeed used bottles there, right? I don't think he is a scavenger, he just has an intention," he said.

Although the perpetrator admitted that he was a scavenger to the police, Ngapuli said it was legal.

"It's possible to claim (scavengers) is it possible, is there evidence of the sacks? We will continue to dispel if there are reports, we can't go around one by one (JPOs). If there are reports, we will immediately move," he said.

Meanwhile, the Tanah Abang Metro Police Chief, Police Commissioner (Kompol) Singgih Hermawan said that the perpetrator of the stone-throwing with the initials UM was a homeless person. The perpetrators live constantly changing locations.

"He is everywhere, moving - moving. The perpetrator with the initials UM (36) works as a scavenger. It's only been a day before (the perpetrator) was from Depok, he said. That's why we are developing whether the perpetrator in Depok was also the one who threw it," said the Sector Police Chief. when contacted by VOI, Monday, August 23, morning.
