akarta Police have detained Muhammad Hidayat, who recently accused Kaesang Pangarep, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s youngest son, of hate speech, for allegedly inciting hate and violence himself.

Hidayat, who was already a suspect in the case before he reported Kaesang to the police, was held for the second time on Friday after he refused to answer questions from investigators.

He is alleged to have spread hate speech by uploading an apparently doctored video of a rally against former Jakarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama, in which Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Mochammad Iriawan is depicted ordering members of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) to attack members of the Islamic Students Association (HMI).

Police said the footage, entitled “Jakarta Police chief provokes the Islam Defenders Front to attack Islamic Students Association members,” was intended to discredit Iriawan.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Argo Yuwono said on Saturday that Hidayat had been undergoing interrogation since Friday.

“He didn’t answer questions from the investigators,” Argo said on Saturday. He is to be detained until July 19.

Hidayat was first detained right after the rally in November last year, but he was later released due to poor health.

On Friday night, Hidayat claimed he had been detained because he had reported Kaesang, who had called intolerant people ndeso (provincial or tacky) in a video.

Police said they have stopped the investigation into Kaesang because of a lack of evidence.
