JAKARTA - The Head of the Metro Jaya Regional Police, Inspector General Fadil Imran, took Rizieq Shihab's ultimatum to follow the legal process in investigating cases of suspected health protocol violations (prokes). Investigators have sent two summons for examination.

"On this occasion we urge MRS to comply with the law by fulfilling the investigators' summons for examination," said Inspector General Fadil to reporters, Monday, December 7.

Inspector General Fadil said that if Rizieq was not present at this second summons, his party would forcefully pick him up. The Criminal Procedure Code stipulates that if a person fails to fulfill the summons for questioning twice, the police have the right to forcefully pick him up.

"If the MRS brothers do not fulfill our summons, the investigating team will take further law enforcement steps in accordance with applicable legal provisions," he explained.

Inspector General Fadil reminded anyone who tried to obstruct the investigation process would be firmly dealt with. Including the supporters of Rizieq Shihab who had attacked members of the National Police on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road.

"I and Pangdam Jaya appeal to the MRS brothers and their followers not to obstruct the provision because this action is an act that violates the law and can be punished," he said.

"If the action to obstruct the officers endangers the safety of our officers, I and the Pangdam Jaya will not hesitate to take firm action," he continued.

Previously it was reported that six Special Forces supporters of Rizieq Shihab were shot dead by the police. They were shot for attacking police officers.

"The MRS group (Muhammad Rizieq Shihab) who attacked the members took firm action and died 6 people," said Inspector General Fadil.

The police attack by Rizieq Shihab's laskar took place around 00.30 WIB Monday, early morning. Six police personnel followed Rizieq Shihab's army after obtaining information that there would be a mass mobilization related to Rizieq Shihab's planned investigation.

Rizieq Shihab was summoned by the police to be questioned at 10:00 WIB in an investigation into a case of violation of health protocols due to the crowd in Petamburan. The news that the mass supporters of Rizieq Shihab will be deployed in connection with the investigation called Inspector General Fadil circulating in many WhatsApp groups.

"When members of Polda Metro Jaya followed a vehicle suspected of being MRS followers, the officer 's vehicle was intercepted and then attacked using firearms and sharp weapons as colleagues saw in front of this," said Inspector General Fadil.

Because they were threatened, the police took firm action. 6 special forces for the Habib Rizieq were shot dead.

"I repeat the MRS (Muhammad Rizieq Shihab) group that carried out assaults on members, they took firm action and died as many as 6 people," he explained.
