inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Metro Jaya Regional Police Traffic Directorate gave stern sanctions to his member who escorted the government official car of RI 36 which was called as arrogant by the public following a viral video on social media.

“The member concerned has been disciplined according to his mistake and has been reprimanded sternly to improve his conduct at the field,” says Metro Jaya Regional Police Traffic Deputy Director, Superintendent Argo Wiyono on Monday (1/13/2025).

In his statement, he states that Brigadier DK has been reprimanded and has returned to his duties.

On the other hand, other than reprimanding his member, police also asked for the taxi driver's statement following the altercation between the two in the video.

For the incident, police will conduct further evaluation to resolve the case to its roots.

“We obviously have learned a lot from this altercation as we have sent notes to our ranks about the Standard Operational Procedure on escort,” concludes Argo.
