A
police watchdog is calling for the National Police to thoroughly investigate abuse allegations against Lampung Police deputy chief Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti and charge him if the crime was proven.
"Propam [the Police's Internal Affairs Division] must charge and dismiss him," chairman of Indonesia Police Watch Neta S. Pane said on Friday.
Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti, who gained public fame during his term as the Jakarta Police's general crimes division chief, denied the allegations but National Police Chief Gen. Tito Karnavian said Propam would still carry out the investigation. The woman, identified only as AY, who works as a model, reportedly suffered severe bruising to her face and filed a complaint to the police on Friday.
In 2013, East Java Police stripped former Mojokerto Police chief Sr.Adj.Cmr. Eko Puji Nugroho from him position and moved him to a non-strategic position for sexually harassing one of his female staff member. The female staff member, however, was fired from the Police Force without honors for disciplinary conduct. (rez/rin)
