Indonesian Police Officer Dismissed After Fatal Shooting of Colleague
A shocking incident in Indonesia has resulted in the dismissal of a high-ranking police officer after he fatally shot one of his colleagues last month. Adj. Comr. Dadang Iskandar, former head of operations for the South Solok Police in West Sumatra, was terminated from his position following a disciplinary hearing at national police headquarters in Jakarta.
The shooting occurred on November 22nd at approximately 12:43 AM in the parking lot of the police headquarters. Dadang allegedly fired upon Adj. Comr. Ryanto Ulil Anshari, head of the South Solok Police criminal investigation division, striking him in the head and face at close range. Anshari was rushed to a hospital but ultimately succumbed to his wounds.
"The ethics court decided to dishonorably discharge him [from the force]," said Sr. Comr. Dwi Sulistyawan, spokesperson for the West Sumatra Police.
Sulistyawan confirmed that Dadang has been returned to West Sumatra and that the criminal investigation into the shooting will proceed.
While the exact motivation behind the shooting remains unclear, the incident has sent shockwaves through Indonesia’s law enforcement community. This tragic event raises questions about workplace violence within police forces and the mechanisms in place to prevent such incidents.
