They\nsaid the case file is now complete. From the case dossier, they reported\nthat the taxi driver has been questioned, as well as a witness\nidentified as Mr Suli Japarudin, the operator of the electric train, and\nMr Udin, the level crossing guard, and Mr Darkim. Finally, they have\nalso questioned Mr Erlando Kristiawan as a witness for the taxi\u2019s ATPM.\nHe said the case file is complete and there are charges under five\nyears\u2019 imprisonment. The case would be heard directly at the Bekasi City\nDistrict Court, though he did not elaborate further on the suspects. And\nsoon, the file has already been sent to prosecutors since the charges\nare under five years, so the trial will be conducted directly at the\nBekasi City District Court. He stated that there were two incidents\nduring the fatal Bekasi Timur train crash, with the two incidents\ncharged under different provisions. The police also offered condolences\nfor both the traffic crossing incident and the Bekasi Timur train crash,\nnoting the existence of two separate incidents. One is the road traffic\ncrash at the level crossing under Law No.\u00a022 on Road Traffic and\nTransportation, and one under the Criminal Code. They are focusing on\nthe investigation. In the investigation, Korlantas has utilised ETLE\ndigitisation and has conducted on-site scene processing using TAA\n(Traffic Accident Analysis). This was done to search for evidence of the\ncauses of the traffic accident at the level crossing. Mario explained\nthat the scene under investigation is related to the taxi being struck\nby the train and that the focus is on this incident. He added, as\npermitted by the Chairman of Commission V of the DPR, that the\ninvestigation concentrates on Scene 1 where, according to the driver\u2019s\nBerita Acara Pemeriksaan (BAP), the incident occurred around 20:40 WIB\non 27 April 2026. They promptly went to the field to process the scene\nand held a case conference on 30 April 2026. This timeline can be\nreported to the leadership of Commission 5 of the DPR and to all chairs,\ndeputy chairs and members, that the investigation is being conducted by\nSatlantas Polres Metro Bekasi Kota. Korlantas says it is merely\nproviding assistance and backing up the scene processing for the level\ncrossing. Mario emphasised that there were two incidents under\ninvestigation and they are not connected. The aim, as in this working\nmeeting, is to work together to make level crossings safe, secure and\norderly.<\/p>",
