JAKARTA - A number of religious leaders such as Ustaz Abdul Somad (UAS) to Habib Muhammad Luthfi bin Ali bin Yahya are said to be experts in the investigation process of the alleged blasphemy case involving the head of the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School, Panji Gumilang. The National Police stated that they could not confirm it on the grounds that investigators were still discussing this matter.

"The material regarding expert witnesses who will be questioned is still being discussed by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police, because this concerns competency issues," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Sandi Nugroho to reporters, Friday, July 7.

According to him, in choosing experts, Bareskrim investigators will not be arbitrary. Because, the main goal is that the cases being handled become clear.

Therefore, at this time it cannot be conveyed who the witnesses and experts will be questioned in the investigation of the alleged blasphemy case.

"Especially for those who will be used as experts so that this crime becomes clear and can provide a clear explanation to the public regarding the events that occurred," said Sandi.

Bareskrim raised the status of the alleged blasphemy case to an investigation. Some time ago, Panji Gumilang was also investigated as a reported person.

The head of the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School is said to have acknowledged all his statements circulating in the form of videos.

Meanwhile, from one of the videos circulating on social media, Panji Gumilang said that the Qur'an was a essay by the Prophet Muhammad.
