The city police arrested on Tuesday an Indonesian Military (TNI) soldier who allegedly supplied illegal drugs to a businessman.
Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said the soldier, who was referred to by his initials JS, was arrested after Endang Kesumayadi, an executive of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), was previously arrested on Monday for using crystal methamphetamine, locally known as shabu-shabu, and revealed that he had got the drugs from JS.
'Endang said JS had given him 1 gram of so-called shabu-shabu yellow ice. We are trying to establish how long the two men have known each other,' he said.
Rikwanto said the police were still questioning JS to get more details on where he obtained the drugs. Endang was being detained at the police's narcotics detention center, he added.
