Indonesian Police Apologized After Accident

Victim Became Suspect
The Jakarta Metropolitan Police revoked the suspect status from Muhammad Hasya
Athallah Saputra, a student from the University of Indonesia who was killed in a traffic
accident. His case incited criticism against the police who named his as a suspect.

Hasya was involved in a traffic accident in October 2022. His motorcyle fell to the other
side of the road, and he was hit by a car.

The car was driven by a retired policeman.

Last January, the Jakarta Metropolitan Police announced that Hasya was the suspect
because he was not careful. At the time of the accident, the road was slippery due to the
weather.

Hasya was still alive after the car hit him. According to the family's lawyer, the retired
policeman declined to immediately take Hasya to hospital.

In a press conference in ICE BSD, Tangerang Regency, the spokesman of

the police said Hasya was no longer a suspect, and his good name would be
rehabilitated.

The spokesman of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Chief Commissioner Trunoyodo, said
that the police found "improper administrative procedure" in his case.

Gita Paulina, the lawyer for Hasya's family, welcomed the news from the police. She
said this would be a turning point.

"The revocation of suspect status from our little brother, Hasya, is a form of seriousness
and the realization of the Chief Regional Police's commitment to re-evaluate the
stipulation that Hasya was the suspect," said Gita in her statement.

The family also expressed their appreciation to the police for this new development, and
hoped that this would be a new hope for Hasya and his family.
