T

he Central Java Police have named three individuals as suspects of alleged bullying targeting Aulia Risma Lestari, a 30-year-old postgraduate resident at the Diponegoro University medical school (FK Undip) who died by suicide in August.

The three suspects were identified as TEN, director of the school’s anesthesiology residency program; SM, a staffer in the finance department; and ZYA, a senior doctor overseeing anesthesiology residents at FK Undip.

Investigators charged them with violating one or more of three articles in the Criminal Code: Article 368 on extortion, Article 335 on unpleasant acts and Article 378 on fraud. The three provisions carry a maximum punishment of nine years in prison.
