JAKARTA - Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) urges National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to form a Joint Fact Finding Team (TGPF) to investigate the death of Brigadier Nopryansah Yosua Hutabara - previously written Brigadier J - who was shot by Bharada E. The formation of this team is so that the handling of cases is balanced.

"We urge the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to form a Joint Fact-Finding Team for the death of Brigadier Nopryansah Josua Hutabarat," said IPW Chairman Sugeng Teguh Santoso in his statement, Monday, July 11.

The impetus for forming the TGPF team is because the case is currently being handled by the National Police Propam. Where, in fact, the location of the shooting is the residence of the Head of the Propam Division.

In addition, the handling by TGPF also aims to eliminate distortions during the investigation of this case.

"The locus delicti occurred at the house of the Head of the Propam Division, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo. Therefore, in order to avoid distortion of the investigation, it must be carried out by a Fact Finding Team formed on the orders of the National Police Chief, not by Propam," he said.

"That way, the disclosure of the shooting case with the victim of a member of the Police carried out by his fellow members and occurred at the house of a high-ranking National Police officer becomes clear," continued Sugeng.

According to him, the purpose of forming the TGPF is to prevent the public from guessing or speculating behind the case. Because, currently there are many allegations circulating in the incident of the death of Brigadier Nopryansah Yosua Hutabara

"This incident is very rare because it happened around a high-ranking officer and is related to the main police officer. Surprisingly, Brigpol J is a member of the police in the Brimob work unit, apart from being shot, there were cuts on his body," said Sugeng.

Brigadier Nopryansah Yosua Hutabara was shot dead by another police officer, Bharada E, on Friday, July 8. The shooting is said to have taken place at the house of a police official in the area, South Jakarta.

The shooting began when Brigadier J entered the house of a high-ranking National Police official in the Duren Tiga Service Housing area, South Jakarta.

Then, Bharada E came and saw Brigadier J. Those who were said to not know each other had an argument. Until finally, shooting each other and causing Brigadier J to die.

From the information circulating, Brigadier J is an aide to the Head of the Propam Police Division, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo. However, there is no confirmation about this yet.
