"Mang Uprit is not a provocateur, but is provoked. So I provide assistance in the examination of Mang Uprit, so that he remains calm," said Dedi in Purwakarta, Antara, Thursday, March 9. Mang Uprit was viral after being angry because the swamped edelweiss plant planted in Ranca Upas, Rancabali District, Bandung Regency, was damaged by a group of trail motorcyclists on Sunday, March 5. Mang Uprit was summoned by the police from the Bandung Police for questioning. It is suspected that the summons was related to cases of environmental destruction and destruction of motorbikes by several people who were also angry with the organizing committee for the trail bike event. Police investigations focus on environmental damage caused by the trail event, which also occurred in the act of burning motorbikes by participants. "I have asked the Head of the Kasat (Kasatreskrim), the focus point is to collect evidence of environmental destruction caused by the Trail Adventure event which also occurred in the burning of motorbikes by participants, which was a criminal act of vandalism," said Dedi. The damage caused by the event went into the criminal realm. Because there was damage to other people's flower areas and also Perhutani. " “If that word is not a path granted permission, it can be criminalized,” he said Upon the summons to the Bandung Police, Mang Uprit admitted that he was afraid, because at the time of the emotional incident he pointed a machete. He was afraid that it was interpreted as a threat, even though it was just an outburst of emotion. "“Sok sieun is suspected of being a provocateur (like to be afraid of being suspected of being a provocateur)," said Mang Uprit. Dedi then calmed Mang Uprit by confirming that what Mang Uprit was doing was not a provocateur but provoked. So that he with this assistance, Mang Uprit could calm down.
