JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives Commission I from the NasDem faction Hillary Brigitta Lasut denied the news that the police were arrested for drug-related cases. On his Instagram account @hillarybrigitta, the NasDem legislator admitted that he was at the family home.

Hilary Brigitta was shocked by this bad news. "Good morning, Indonesian people, it's not me. This morning I was just surprised, the chairman of the board called. I'm with my grandmother, I'm healthy," Hillary said in a clarification video uploaded to Instagram @hillarybrigitta reported Friday, April 8.

The authorities have also denied the news of the arrest of two DPR members with the initials AW and HL. This information is just a hoax. "Information about the arrest of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives related to drug cases in West Jakarta, I can convey that the information is not true," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters.

Based on the results of coordination with the West Jakarta Metro Police and the Metro Jaya Police's Narcotics Investigation Directorate, there have been no arrests of narcotics cases as reported. Especially those involving members of the DPR RI.

"There has been no arrest of members of the DPR related to narcotics or drug abuse," said Zulpan.

For the initials of AW, who is said to be a member of Commission II of the DPR from the Golkar Party faction, Agung Widyantoro is also unfounded. The activity in question is selfie after sahur and dawn prayers at his residence.

It is known, based on information on the DPR's official website www.dpr.go.id, members of the DPR RI for the 2019-2024 period, there is only one person whose name is Agung Widyantoro.

"Photos after eating sahur and praying at dawn," said Agung.
