However, details regarding the specific case or the reasons behind the search and Hindayana's detention have not yet been clarified.
Wait a moment, okay.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing approximately nine investigators, identified by their Jampidsus (Directorate General of Special Crimes) uniforms, entering the BGN office premises. They were followed by an additional five investigators. These teams did not provide detailed statements to the media present outside the office, which was secured by security personnel.
Plh Kapuspenkum Kejagung Mochamad Jefry confirmed that investigators from Jampidsus were indeed conducting a search at the BGN office. The search reportedly commenced early Wednesday morning and continued throughout the day. The lack of specific information has left the nature of the investigation and Hindayana's alleged involvement unclear.
