PONTIANAK - Head of Public Relations of the West Kalimantan Regional Police Grand Commissioner (Pol) Jansen A Panjaitan said people who were hit by blank bullets by members of the Operational Control Assistance (BKO) Brimob West Kalimantan Police only suffered rashes on the skin.
"Until now, the situation is under control and the resident, Ji'i, who was hit by empty bullets, has also gradually recovered," said Jansen A Panjaitan in Pontianak, Monday, May 30.
He explained that the surrounding community also supports the firm and measurable law enforcement steps from the Police.
He added that the law enforcement was carried out by members of the Mobile Brigade, because the residents suspected of stealing palm oil tried to seize the weapons of the Brimob members.
"There was even a member of the BKO Brimob West Kalimantan Police who was hit on the left side of the head on behalf of Brigadier Sandy Biantoro for further post-mortem," he said, quoted by Antara.
Previously, there was a dispute between residents and members of the Mobile Brigade Brigade Corps (BKO) member of the West Kalimantan Police on Saturday (28/5) in an oil palm plantation area owned by PT Arrtu Estet Kemuning, Kemuning Village, Ketapang Regency.
In that incident, members of the West Kalimantan Police Mobile Brigade also arrested Suharjo who was on the Ketapang Police wanted list, according to number 23/IV.RES.1.8/2022/RESKRIM-IV with Police Report Number LP/B/162/IV/ 2021/ SPKT dated April 19, 2021. Suharjo is suspected of violating the Plantation Law Article 107 Jo Article Theft.
The Head of Public Relations of the West Kalimantan Police added, as for the chronology of the dispute, namely Saturday (28/5) at around 12.00 western Indonesia time, the Yankam personnel of PT Arrtu Estate Kemuning totaling 17 personnel led by Aipda Wawan Widianto moved towards the land (K/L block 42.43) which was claimed unilaterally by Suharjo alias Ujang Halus who is the DPO of the Ketapang Police in the case of 363 of the Criminal Code.

When they arrived at the location at 12.30 western Indonesia time, about 40 residents led by Suharjo were carrying out activities for harvesting fresh fruit (FFB) marks on the land, he said.
"Members of Brimob have given an appeal not to harvest FFB in the PT Arrtu plantation area and appealed to Suharjo to surrender himself. However, he was ignored, so an arrest was made," he said.
At the time of the persuasive arrest, Suharjo's family could not accept the situation. Then when Suharjo was about to be taken away, one of the residents of Mambuk Hamlet, Segar Wangi Village, named Ji'i pulled out a machete and chased Bripka Sahad Parlindungan Siahaan and Bharatu Hadianto.
"Members of Brimob have issued warning shots three times, but the perpetrators did not heed this, so they fired with empty bullets at the resident and hit him in the back," he said.
