Headline: Banten Police Mutates Cinangka Station Chief Amid Rental Car Shooting Investigation
Subhead: Three officers, including the station chief, reassigned as probe into boss’s killing continues
Article:
In a significant development in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a rental car company boss, the Banten Police have announced the mutation of three officers from Cinangka Police Station, including its chief. The move comes as authorities probe allegations of unprofessional conduct by the officers in handling the initial report.
The Banten Police confirmed the mutations in a telecommunication, with the officers reassigned to the Banten Police Headquarters for further investigation. The reassigned officers are:
- AKP Asep Iwan, the former Cinangka Police Station Chief, now reassigned to the Banten Police Headquarters.
- Brigadir Deri Andriani, reassigned to the Banten Police Headquarters.
- Bripka Dedi Irwanto, also reassigned to the Banten Police Headquarters.
The mutations were approved by AKBP Kemas Indra Natanegara, the Cilegon Police Chief, and are part of the ongoing investigation into the fatal shooting incident on the Tangerang-Merak Toll Road’s Rest Area at Km 45.
Earlier, Banten Police Chief Irjen Suyudi Ario Seto revealed that the initial report was made by Agam Muhammad and Samsul, accompanied by a total of five people. The group was received by Brigadir Deri Andriani and Bripka Dedi Purwanto at Cinangka Police Station. However, a communication breakdown led to the officers requesting additional documents, including a leasing agreement, despite the victims providing necessary documents such as the BPKBP, STNK, and a spare key.
The police chief emphasized that the officers should have provided accompaniment to the victims but failed to do so, and did not request additional backup from the police headquarters or the criminal investigation unit.
The investigation into the fatal shooting continues, with the Banten Police committed to ensuring justice and maintaining public trust in the institution.
