It is known that the clash between police officers and Rizieq’s supporters took place on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 Toll Road on Monday (7/12) at around 00.30 WIB. Because of this incident, six soldiers who were guarding Rizieq died.
Regarding the incident, the police and FPI presented a different chronology.
The police said the clash occurred when the security forces were attacked and surrounded by a group of FPI sympathizers in the midst of surveillance and investigations regarding information on mass mobilization to guard Rizieq’s investigation. Then according to the police, firm steps were taken because the actions of the sympathizers were deemed to endanger the safety of the officers.
The clash resulted in the death of six FPI troops.
The police explanation differs from the chronology presented by FPI. According to this organization formed by Rizieq Shihab, a clash occurred when the guard was attacked by an unknown person (OTK) while guarding Rizieq Shihab’s activities.
