The National Police have dishonorably discharged Adj. Sr. Comr. Fajar Widyadharma Lukman, the former chief of the Ngada Police in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), after he was found guilty of violating the police force’s code of ethics for sexually abusing a minor and using drugs.

The discharge decision was announced by National Police spokesperson Brig. Gen. Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko at the police’s headquarters in Jakarta on Monday evening, after the National Police ethics commission (KKEP) wrapped up the ethics hearing against Fajar.

The commission heard from several witnesses during the hearing, including five individuals attending the proceedings virtually because they were unable to make it in person.

“The defendant was found guilty of molesting and performing sexual acts against minors, adultery, using narcotics and recording and spreading the video of the mentioned child molestation,” Trunoyudo said.

The violations, he went on to say, constituted serious violations of the police’s ethics code, prompting the KKEP to dishonorably dismiss Fajar from the police force.
