Four Bais Members Designated as Suspects in Activist Sulphuric Acid Attack, HAM-I: Evidence TNI Does Not Discriminate

The Indonesian Military Police Centre (Puspom TNI) has begun to yield results from its rapid steps in uncovering the case of the alleged sulphuric acid splashing against activist Andrie Yunus. After a series of intensive investigations, the military authorities have officially designated rogue TNI members as suspects in the case that has captured public attention. This designation of suspects is seen as a positive signal for legal reforms within the military. Cross-sector coordination and the transparency shown by TNI Headquarters are considered distinguishing factors in handling recent violence cases involving apparatus. National Coordinator of the Indonesian Millennial Activists Association (HAM-I), Asip Irama, has given high appreciation for Puspom TNI’s performance. According to him, this firm step proves that the slogan “TNI with the People” is not merely rhetorical embellishment, but is realised in the supremacy of law without discrimination. “We from the Indonesian Millennial Activists Association highly appreciate the swift and firm actions of Puspom TNI. The designation of suspects from internal rogues shows a strong commitment from the TNI Commander to clean the institution from individuals who harm the people’s trust,” Asip stated in a written release in Jakarta on Wednesday (18/3/2026). Asip emphasised that the TNI’s speed in identifying the perpetrators and disclosing it to the public is a form of transparency worthy of thumbs up. According to him, the public has often been sceptical when legal cases touch on rogue apparatus, but Puspom TNI has successfully broken that stigma.
