JP / Don

53-year-old Ahmad Guntur says he considers an internal sanction imposed on a police officer who was involved in a traffic accident that left his 15-year-old daughter dead was too lenient.

'€œHe [the policeman] should receive a harsher punishment because I'€™ve lost my daughter,'€ Guntur said on Monday as quoted by tempo.co.

Previously South Jakarta Police traffic unit chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Sutimin said a member of the Jakarta Police'€™s Sabhara rapid response unit, Second Brig. Ricky Alexander, had been banned from driving any four-wheeled vehicle after the bus he was driving collided with Guntur'€™s motorcycle, on which his daughter Layla Fitriani Ahmad was a passenger.

Sutimin said that besides the ban, a criminal investigation was still ongoing by the South Jakarta Police.

Ricky was at the wheel of the bus when it hit Guntur'€™s motorcycle on the Trunojoyo underpass in South Jakarta on Feb. 2.

On Monday, Guntur said that National Police spokesperson Insp. Gen. Ronny F. Sompie had promised him that the policeman would be suitably punished.
