Table of Contents
The death of a 48-year-old Indonesian rental car business owner, IAR, in a shooting incident has sparked controversy, with his son, Rizky Agam, directly challenging the official police narrative. IAR was fatally shot at a rest stop on the Tangerang-Merak toll road, allegedly by car thieves. The conflicting accounts highlight concerns about potential police misconduct and a lack of openness in the examination.
According too Rizky, the Cinangka Police refused to assist his father and him when they reported the attempted car theft, despite presenting what he claims was irrefutable proof of ownership, including the vehicle’s registration documents and spare keys. He stated, “We have informed you that we are a rental car, private. And we bring proof of ownership, BPKB, STNK, with a spare key,” contradicting the police chief’s assertion that they lacked proper documentation.
Rizky further explained that they only sought police assistance as the suspects, reportedly four individuals, were attempting to steal their car and were only about 200 meters away. He recounted, “So I asked the Cinangka Police for help to accompany me even though the car was only 200 meters away. But with a heavy heart they refused to accompany me.”
However, Cinangka Police Chief AKP Asep Iwan kurniawan offered a different version of events. He claimed that the police only requested proof of ownership, stating, “There’s never been a refusal, the only thing there is is asking for the car’s ownership documents. Because they say it’s from leasing. We don’t want to be careless. For leasing, there must be a court decision, then there’s a police letter and so on. At least there’s ownership documents,but (they) couldn’t show ownership documents.”
This discrepancy in accounts raises serious questions about the police’s handling of the situation and the circumstances surrounding IAR’s death. The incident underscores broader concerns about police accountability and the need for thorough investigations into allegations of misconduct in Indonesia. The case mirrors similar incidents in other countries where allegations of police brutality and lack of transparency in investigations have fueled public outrage and calls for reform.
The investigation into IAR’s death is ongoing, and the conflicting accounts highlight the need for a transparent and impartial inquiry to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident and ensure accountability for any wrongdoing.
