The Jakarta Metropolitan Police Director of General Criminal Investigation, Kombes Iman Imanuddin, stated that any attempts to obstruct or disrupt the investigation are being handled wisely and according to procedure.

If there is intervention, I think it's more appropriate to try to obstruct or interfere or hinder the investigation process. Because of the efforts to hinder this investigation, or the investigation experiences gangguan, of course, investigators, we will still face it wisely, we will face it with the procedures we take according to KUHAP.

Because of the efforts to hinder this investigation, or the investigation experiences gangguan, of course, investigators, we will still face it wisely, we will face it with the procedures we take according to KUHAP," Imanuddin said on Monday (June 22).

He urged all parties to use legal instruments as stipulated by law, rather than resorting to social media narratives or provocative hoaxes. Imanuddin emphasized that if any party feels the process is incorrect, legal mechanisms like pre-trial hearings are available. He also pointed to internal supervisory bodies within the police for those who suspect irregularities in the investigation.

Not through social media narratives, not through provocative narratives that are hoaxes, or that are untrue. All procedural provisions have guidelines. If there are things that feel inappropriate, there is a mechanism called pre-trial.
