Latest Facts on Former Bima City Police Chief Ensnared in Drug Case
The drug trafficking case ensnaring former Bima City Police Chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro has entered a new chapter.
Didik has been named a suspect in drug distribution. His designation as a suspect was based on a case review held on Friday (13 February).
As a consequence, Didik subsequently faced a Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) hearing at the TNCC Building, National Police Headquarters, on Thursday (19 February).
The following is a summary of the latest facts surrounding the case against Didik.
1. Dismissed from the Police
At the KKEP hearing, Didik was handed a Dishonourable Discharge (PTDH) sanction for his involvement in the drug case.
National Police Public Relations Division spokesperson Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko said the sanction was imposed because the tribunal panel found Didik guilty of soliciting and receiving money from a drug lord operating in the Bima City area.
Based on these findings, Trunoyudo said the KKEP tribunal panel imposed an ethical sanction declaring the perpetrator’s conduct as disgraceful behaviour.
An administrative sanction of placement in a special facility for seven days was also imposed, effective from 13 August through to February 2026.
“Under the administrative sanction, dishonourable discharge as a member of the National Police,” he said at a press conference on Thursday (19 February).
Trunoyudo said Didik accepted the KKEP tribunal’s ruling and did not file an appeal.
2. Sexual Misconduct
The KKEP hearing also established that Didik was alleged to have engaged in sexual misconduct. However, Trunoyudo did not elaborate further on the nature of the sexual misconduct committed by Didik.
“Engaging in narcotics abuse and engaging in deviant sexual misconduct activities,” he said.
Trunoyudo only confirmed that the sexual misconduct was unrelated to Aipda Dianita Agustina, who had been entrusted with a suitcase containing drugs.
“From the results of the examination process, the Commission Hearing found one act of misconduct, but it is not related to Aipda Dianita Agustina,” he said.
“That is one of the acts uncovered during the examination process, and therefore it was established as one of the suspected violations, namely misconduct,” he added.
3. Didik’s Wife and Aipda Dianita Test Positive for Drugs
Didik’s wife, Miranti Afriana, and Aipda Dianita Agustina were confirmed to have tested positive for consuming ecstasy-type narcotics. This was based on hair sample examination results.
“The Directorate of Narcotics Crime at the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) conducted laboratory tests through Bareskrim’s Forensic Laboratory Centre on hair samples from MA and Aipda DA, which showed positive results for MDMA (ecstasy),” said Director of Narcotics Crime at Bareskrim Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso to reporters on Thursday.
Nevertheless, neither was named as a suspect; instead, they will only undergo rehabilitation as drug users.
“The results from the Integrated Assessment Team recommended that MA and Aipda DA undergo a rehabilitation process, which will be carried out at the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) Rehabilitation Centre,” said Eko.
4. Suspect in Rp2.8 Billion Drug Money Allocation
Separately, Eko revealed that Didik had also been named a suspect for receiving proceeds from drug-related criminal activities. The suspect designation was made by the Narcotics Directorate of the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police on Monday (16 February).
“In the alleged case of receiving proceeds from narcotics crime from AKP M (Malaungi) totalling Rp2.8 billion,” he said.
Eko Hadi said that investigations revealed Malaungi had met with Koh Erwin, a drug lord, along with AS, the treasurer of the drug network.
During that meeting, Malaungi requested that Koh Erwin provide money to be handed over to Didik as the police chief.
“Upon further examination, AKP M disclosed that he had been receiving money from a drug lord from June to November 2025,” said Eko.
He said the majority of that money was subsequently handed over to Didik as Malaungi’s direct superior, who served as Head of the Narcotics Unit at Bima City Police.
“The total amount of money handed over to AKBP DPK was Rp2.8 billion,” he explained.
For his actions, Didik has been charged under Article 114 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph (2) or Article 137 Letter A of Law Number 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, carrying penalties of death, life imprisonment, or a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
5. Denies Receiving Drug Lord’s Payments
However, Didik claims he never received any funds or narcotics from the drug lord known as Koh Erwin. This was conveyed by Didik through a letter written personally whilst undergoing special placement at the National Police’s Professional and Security Division (Propam).
In the letter, Didik stated he never ordered his subordinate AKP Malaungi, Head of the Narcotics Unit at Bima City Police, to solicit money from Koh Erwin.
He also denied assigning Malaungi to collaborate with the drug lord in distributing narcotics in the Bima City area.
6. National Police Chief Orders Urine Testing for All Officers
In the wake of the case involving Didik, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has ordered the Professional and Security Division to conduct urine tests on all members of the police force.
“Based on the Police Chief’s orders, the Professional and Security Division and its ranks will carry out urine examination activities,” said Public Relations Division spokesperson Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko to reporters on Friday (20 February).
Trunoyudo said urine testing would be conducted simultaneously at all levels, both at National Police Headquarters and regional police commands.
He said this effort also represented the police force’s commitment to supporting President Prabowo Subianto’s Asta Cita programme regarding the handling and eradication of narcotics.
Trunoyudo added that the urine testing would involve oversight bodies from both internal and external police supervisory agencies.
