ASAHAN, KOMPAS.com - A Brigadier Two (Bripda) rank officer from the Tanjungbalai Police, identified as SAS, is under investigation by the professional and security division (Propam) after being caught by residents inside a car with a woman at the Kisaran Low-Cost Rental Flats (Rusunawa) area, Asahan Regency, North Sumatra.

Public Relations Officer for Tanjungbalai Police, Ipda Muhammad Ruslan, confirmed that SAS is a police officer assigned to the Samapta Unit of the Tanjungbalai Police.

SAS was initially handled by the Asahan Police Propam before the case was transferred to the Tanjungbalai Police Propam for further examination.

"He is indeed a police personnel and is currently being investigated by the Propam of Tanjungbalai Police," Ruslan said.

According to Ruslan, the case is still under investigation.

If two pieces of evidence are found during the investigation, SAS may face special placement (patsus) for 30 days.

"At the moment, this is still under investigation. The individual serves in the Samapta Unit of the Tanjungbalai Police," he added.

Police state the woman is Bripda SAS’s girlfriend

Ruslan said that based on SAS’s statement, the woman found with him inside the car is his girlfriend.

"Yes, according to his account, the woman is his girlfriend," he concluded.

Before being handed over for formal questioning, SAS was secured by residents at the Rusunawa Kisaran area.

According to an unnamed security officer at the Rusunawa, the incident began when several children playing nearby noticed a white Toyota Rush parked within the Rusunawa complex.

The vehicle appeared to be shaking, which caught the attention of the children.

"At first, they were playing, then they saw the car moving. They started peeking inside. They then called adults to secure the man and woman inside the vehicle," the security officer said.

Residents then approached and shone flashlights inside the car.
