The individual AS refers to is Inspector General Ahrie Sonta, who served as the Acting Head of the Monitoring Division of the National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency from October 7, 2025, until October 1, 2026.

LSP refers to General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, the former National Police Chief.

“We also emphasize that the individual referred to as TK in this matter is a senior police officer with a one-star police general rank (Brigjen Pol),” said Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir in a press release from the National Police's Public Relations Division.

Currently, Brigjen TK is undergoing examination by the Professional Responsibility Bureau (Wabprof) of the National Police's Propam Division regarding allegations of professional misconduct.

“His statements are also being investigated in the inquiry process to fully uncover the role of each party in this matter,” Johnny stated.
