The Directorate of Narcotics Crime at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) announced on Friday, 13 February, the designation of AKBP Didik as a suspect in alleged drug possession.

It was from there that AKBP Didik’s involvement was detected. “Based on statements from AKP ML, there was involvement of AKBP DPK in the alleged narcotics misuse,” said Isir.
A joint team from the Internal Affairs Bureau of Divpropam and the Directorate of Narcotics Crime at Bareskrim subsequently conducted a search of AKBP DPK’s private residence in Tangerang on Wednesday, 11 February.
