Habiburokhman: Police Commissioner Didik Putra Kuncoro Must Receive Severe Punishment
Jakarta, VIVA – The Chairman of Commission III of the House of Representatives (DPR RI), Habiburokhman, has given his full support to the National Police’s decision to designate the inactive Bima City Police Chief, AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro, as a suspect in an alleged narcotics possession case.
Habiburokhman stated that the National Police had demonstrated its impartiality in combating narcotics distribution, including when its own personnel are involved.
“Commission III of the DPR RI supports the National Police in taking firm action against the former Bima Police Chief in connection with the narcotics distribution case. This proves that the National Police makes no compromises in dealing with lawbreakers, even if they hold the status of police officers,” said Habiburokhman in a statement on Monday, 16 February 2026.
According to him, the National Police has proven itself to be the most responsive institution to public complaints and to the conduct of errant individuals who commit violations.
“This firm stance is in accordance with the provisions of Article 23 paragraph (7) of the new Criminal Procedure Code, which stipulates that every law enforcement officer who commits a violation shall be subject to ethical, administrative, and criminal sanctions,” he said.
Habiburokhman emphasised that AKBP Didik must receive the heaviest possible punishment if found guilty of committing a criminal offence. He noted that the National Police serves as the front line in eradicating narcotics, yet it was one of its own personnel who became involved.
“If he is ultimately proven to have committed a criminal offence, then the former Bima Police Chief should receive a heavier sentence than the average punishment given to offenders who are not members of the National Police. This is important because, as a police officer, he should have been at the forefront of narcotics eradication, yet he was the one involved,” he concluded.
As background, the Directorate of Narcotics Crime at the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) of the National Police designated the inactive Bima City Police Chief, AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro, as a suspect in an alleged narcotics possession case.
The Director of Narcotics Crime at Bareskrim, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, said the suspect designation was made after investigators conducted a case review on the same day.
“The participants of the case review agreed to proceed with the investigation under Article 609 paragraph (2) letter (a) of Law Number 1/2023 on the Criminal Code in conjunction with Law Number 1/2026 on Criminal Adjustment, and Article 62 of Law Number 5/1997 on Psychotropic Substances in conjunction with Appendix 1 number 9 of Law Number 1/2026 on Criminal Adjustment, against suspect AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of Sub-Directorate III of the Narcotics Crime Directorate at Bareskrim, Senior Commissioner Zulkarnain Harahap, disclosed that Didik had entrusted a suitcase containing narcotics to his former subordinate, First Police Officer Dianita Agustina.
