The Densus 88 Anti-Terror of Indonesian National Police (INP) arrested an individual identified as "DE" in the Bekasi region on (14/8/23) due to the suspect's association with a social media group linked to extremist activities.

This dissemination included motivational content promoting jihad through digital mediums.
