Jakarta –
Two important figures of mass organizations Khilafatul Muslimin arrested in Bandar Lampung, Lampung, today. The arrest of the two was apparently colored by chaos.
Dirreskrimum Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Hengki Haryadi said two journalists were injured in the incident. The two journalists were injured because of the resistance carried out by the Khilafatul Muslimin mass organization during the arrest process.
“There are journalists who are victims,” said Hengki when contacted detik.comSaturday (11/6/2022).
The two journalists are known to be media reporters online and television. Both were injured in the left temple and nose respectively from being hit by a helmet.
In the received video detik.com, the riot started when people who were arrested by the police resisted. At the location of the arrests, there were also a number of members of the Muslim Khilafatul who wore the uniforms of the mass organization, dominantly colored in green and white.
The person who was arrested seemed to fight back with thrashing. Mass pushing action Khilafatul Muslimin with the police also occurred at the location. A number of sympathizers of these mass organizations even threw helmets at officers.
Hengki said the process of arresting the two important figures of the Khilafatul Muslimin mass organization had been carried out in accordance with procedures. He said the arrests of the two figures were carried out after investigators discovered that they had a role in the activities of the Khilafatul Muslimin mass organization which violated Indonesian rules.
“We also emphasize that those who have had misunderstandings before, must obey the rules of the Republic of Indonesia. Note, they must obey. They must not oppose us TNI-Polri and local government officials here. Must obey the rules in Indonesia,” Hengki explained.
The arrests of two important figures of the Khilafatul Muslimin were carried out by a joint team from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya led by Kombes Hengki Haryadi. The arrest was also assisted by the TNI and the local Forkopimda.
Confiscate Billions of Rupiah
In addition to arresting two important figures in the mass organization, the police confiscated a total of billions of rupiah. The money is suspected to be operational funds from mass organizations Khilafatul Muslimin.
“It is suspected that the operational symbols of this mass organization are contrary to Pancasila,” explained Hengki.
The two people and a number of pieces of evidence will now be brought to Jakarta. The police will continue their investigation at Polda Metro Jaya.
Hengki said there were significant findings from the search of the Khilafatul Muslimin headquarters today. He also mentioned that there are new offenses from the case that are being investigated by investigators.
“Essentially, these are two important figures in this mass organization and our investigations are ongoing. We will present new offenses later when they are released in Jakarta,” said Hengki.
Regarding the significant findings obtained from today’s search, the police have not spoken further. Hengki said his party would coordinate with a number of relevant agencies to investigate the significant findings.
“Later the full release will be explained in Jakarta because there are significant things that the police cannot work alone. There are other ministries,” said Hengki.
The arrest of the two people today adds to the members of the Khilafatul Muslimin who have been arrested by the ranks of the Polda Metro Jaya. Previously, on Tuesday (7/6) the top leader of the Khilafatul Muslimin mass organization, Abdul Qadir Hasan Baraja, was arrested in Bandar Lampung.
