The ethics trial for the dismissed Bima City Police Chief, AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro (DPK), related to allegations of drug possession, is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 19 February 2026, following his designation as a suspect.
The Head of the Public Relations Division of the Indonesian National Police, Inspector General Johnny Eddison Isir, stated that the ethics trial will be conducted at the Professional Accountability Bureau within the Police Profession and Security Division.
“We will provide updates on the results of the ethics trial against AKBP DPK. The session is set to be held at the Deputy for Professionalism in the Police Security and Profession Division, planned for Thursday, 19 February 2026,” he said.
AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro, the Bima City Police Chief, has been named a suspect and charged under Article 609 paragraph (2) letter a of the Criminal Code, in conjunction with Law Number 1 of 2026 on Criminal Adjustments and Article 62 of Law Number 5 of 1997 on Psychotropics.
AKBP Didik faces potential penalties including life imprisonment or a maximum prison term of 20 years and/or a fine of up to Rp 2 billion, as well as a maximum prison term of five years and a fine of up to Rp 200 million.
“At present, AKBP DPK has not been detained by Directorate IV of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency because he is still undergoing special placement by the Police Security and Profession Division in connection with the ongoing ethics process,” Johnny explained.
In relation to this case, the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency has formed a joint team comprising the Directorate of Narcotics Crimes at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency and the Narcotics Directorate of the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police to investigate further.
“All preventive actions up to law enforcement carried out by the Narcotics Crimes Directorate of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency represent a preventive strike as a form of government protection for the Indonesian public, in line with the President’s directives,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Narcotics Crimes Directorate of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency announced on Friday, 13 February, that AKBP Didik had been named a suspect in the alleged drug possession case. The case came to light following the arrest of two household assistants belonging to the suspect, a police officer identified as Bripka IR and his wife AN, with evidence of 30.415 grams of crystal methamphetamine at their private residence.
From the interrogation by the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police Narcotics Directorate, the involvement of AKP Malaungi (ML) in the network was uncovered. Subsequent examinations by the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police Professionalism Division of AKP ML returned positive results for amphetamine and methamphetamine. A search of AKP ML’s office and official residence then uncovered five packets of crystal methamphetamine weighing 488.496 grams.
From this, AKBP Didik’s involvement was detected. “Based on statements from AKP ML, there was involvement from AKBP DPK in the alleged narcotics abuse,” Isir stated.
