epok Police named on Thursday only five out of hundreds of people from the two groups, Betawi Brotherhood Forum (FBR) and the Pemuda Pancasila Youth Organization (PP), who were involved in a street fight early on Wednesday.
The clash was triggered by an action from one of the groups who put down a gang flag of the other, police said. Several people were injured during the incident.
“We initially detained 24 of them. After further questioning, we named only five of them as suspects for carrying various kinds of weapons,” Depok Police chief Sr. Comr. Achmad Kartiko told reporters at the Jakarta Police headquarters on Thursday as quoted by kompas.com. The suspects are facing 10 years of imprisonment for possessing weapons under the 1951 Emergency Law.
