Sumedang Deputy Regent Fajar Aldila has vehemently denied allegations of sexual harassment directed at his personal secretary, identified by the initials R. Aldila stated that he is actively investigating the individuals responsible for spreading what he described as baseless gossip and slander.

Facing this issue, I am not bothered by colleagues, gossip that is not based on sources. Rather than being busy clarifying A, clarifying B, I would rather just work, focus on work, work, work.

Speaking to reporters, Aldila expressed his intention to pursue legal action against those involved in disseminating the rumors. "Facing this issue, I am not bothered by colleagues, gossip that is not based on sources. Rather than being busy clarifying A, clarifying B, I would rather just work, focus on work, work, work," he said.

He indicated a desire to understand the motives behind the accusations, questioning whether they were politically motivated. Aldila cautioned the public and media against accepting unverified narratives and urged them to be discerning consumers of information. "The accusation of this issue, I want to delve into, what is the meaning and purpose, is it political or what is its purpose. That is what is being investigated. I just want to remind the public not to easily fall for narratives of unclear opinion manipulation, especially when the source is unclear," he stated.

Aldila reiterated that the alleged incident never occurred and referred to it as "gossip." He invited the media to speak directly with his personal secretary for clarification. Previously, social media circulated claims that R was a victim of assault and confinement by the Deputy Regent, allegedly involving multiple parties, with reports of the victim having filed a complaint with the West Java Regional Police.
