Medan, CNN Indonesia —
Determination of the suspect in the Pringgan Market trader, Medan, who was stabbed by a thug drew the spotlight. Later, the Head of the Medan Baru Police, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit, and the investigators were examined by the Propam Division of the North Sumatra Police because there was a procedural error in handling the case.
“Now an investigation is being carried out. Not all cases are the same. So this is a case of reporting on the same incident. In the near future we will convey the decision,” said North Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General Panca Putra Simanjuntak, Saturday (10/30).
According to Panca, cases like this have become a phenomenon in North Sumatra. Therefore, Panca requested a thorough evaluation of all police reports in North Sumatra.
“This has become a phenomenon apparently in North Sumatra. I ask for an evaluation of all police reports in North Sumatra. This is to avoid cases like this,” he said.
Panca said the National Police had actually made a rule that the police could refuse reports. In addition, there are provisions for handling mutual reporting cases.
“To deal with cases of mutual reporting like this, there is an old rule that cannot be accepted in the same place. One of them must be taken to a higher level. This is a guideline that all my staff must carry out again,” he said.
Not only that, Panca said there was already a rule that every suspect was named at the lowest level at the Polres.
“Polsek must ask for a case title to the supervisory section or section at the Polres. That’s the rule. So I will maximize it again,” he explained.
Panca suspected that his staff had made a procedural error in handling cases because investigators were rotated so quickly. According to him, this makes the investigators who are rotated do not fully understand the existing regulations.
“I remind my staff. This can happen because the children in the National Police are investigating officers whose rotation is very fast. So they do not fully understand all the existing rules,” he explained.
It is known that the BA and BS cases began on August 9, 2021 at around 06.00 at Pringgan Market, Medan Baru District, Medan City. At the time of unloading merchandise from the car, BA was approached by two thugs who claimed to be from youth organizations. The thugs then asked him for money.
But BA refused the money request from the thugs. Not long after that came BS, angry while hitting BA’s car. Then they pushed and hit each other. While fighting BS stabbed BA using a sharp weapon. The stab wound BA’s right chest.
BA defended himself from being stabbed and took an iron or wheel wrench tucked into his waist. Then BA hit BS a few times. Later, BA and BS reported to each other. However, BA was first named a suspect by the Medan Baru Police.
Even the case file for the suspect BA is already P21. In the near future BA will undergo a trial at the Medan District Court.
After the fight, the Medan Baru Police also named BS as a suspect in the case of persecution. The case has sparked controversy after it went viral on social media. Later the Medan Police withdrew from handling the case.
