JAKARTA – A storm is brewing at the Pondok Gede Police Station following allegations that its officers turned a blind eye to an aggressive gang, known locally as ‘Bang Jago’, terrorizing a driver in Bekasi, West Java. The embarrassing incident, which was caught on camera, has prompted an internal investigation, with the Jakarta Metro Bekasi City Police Chief personally overseeing the probe.
Internal Probe Launched
Kapolsek Pondok Gede, Kompol Bambang Sugiharto, spoke to the press on Friday, confirming the investigation into six officers who were on duty during the incident. "As of now, six personnel have been under internal investigation at the Propam, Jakarta Metro Bekasi City Police," he said.
Bambang assured the public that any officers found to have committed wrongdoing would face severe consequences. He revealed that the investigation focused on disciplinary violations and standard operating procedure (SOP) breaches regarding report handling.
Video Evidence: ‘Bang Jago’ Group’s Brazen Attack
In the viral video, three men on a motorbike are seen harassing a car, causing both the driver and passenger to panic. The trouble started after the motorbike group recklessly weaved in and out of traffic, causing other motorists to slow down. When the car tried to pass them, the group responded by pursuing the car and assaulting it.
The driver, frantic and pleading for help, recorded the incident on his phone. "Please help me, they’re still chasing me! They’re crazy, please help," he shouted.
Addressing Allegations of Indifference
Bambang acknowledged the viral video and promised thorough investigation. "We’ve conducted an internal probe on the officers on duty that day. If there’s any evidence of disciplinary breaches or SOP violations, we will take appropriate actions," he said.
This incident has once again highlighted the need for robust enforcement and public accountability, ensuring that law enforcement officers uphold their duty to protect and serve the community, rather than turning a blind eye to criminal activities.
