Parallel Criminal and Ethical Investigations Launched Against Officer

The Internal Affairs Division (Propam) of the Central Java Regional Police has detained an officer identified as First Police Inspector (Aiptu) N. This disciplinary action follows an official report filed by a 30-year-old female victim, MAN, hailing from Cirebon, West Java, who alleged that the physical abuse had been occurring systematically since December 2023.

The legal proceedings against the Tegal City police officer are moving forward through two separate legal tracks. While the Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim) of the National Police handles the criminal assault elements of the case, the Central Java Police's Propam is concurrently spearheading an internal ethics and professional conduct probe.

Central Java Police spokesperson Senior Commissioner Artanto confirmed that the institution will maintain a zero-tolerance policy against personnel who abuse their authority or violate the law. "We do not give any tolerance to any form of violation committed by our members," Artanto stated, emphasizing that the internal probe will remain highly objective and transparent.

Following the initial report submitted to Bareskrim on July 2, 2026, the suspect was immediately isolated in a specialized detention unit. Investigators are currently gathering additional forensic evidence and victim testimonies to determine whether administrative dismissal from the force will accompany the impending criminal charges.
