Officially Dismissed: Former Bima Police Chief AKBP Didik Dishonourably Discharged After Being Found to Have Received Money and Narcotics
Jakarta — The fate of former Bima City police chief Adjunct Senior Commissioner (AKBP) Didik Putra Kuncoro has finally been decided.
The panel of the National Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) has officially imposed the sanction of Dishonourable Discharge (PTDH), effectively dismissing him from the Indonesian National Police.
The verdict was handed down during an ethics hearing held at National Police Headquarters in Jakarta on Thursday, 19 February 2026. The panel was chaired by the Deputy Inspector General of the National Police, Inspector General Merdisyam, and took into account the examination of 18 witnesses.
“Dishonourable discharge as a member of the National Police,” stated National Police Public Relations Division spokesperson Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko.
Beyond the dismissal, Didik had previously been given an administrative sanction requiring placement in a special detention facility for seven days, which he has already served.
“Upon the verdict, the offender stated before the chairman and members of the commission that he accepted the decision,” Trunoyudo said.
In its deliberations, the panel found that Didik had received money and narcotics from former Head of the Bima City Police Narcotics Unit, Adjunct Commissioner Malaungi, who had already been subject to legal proceedings.
“[The source was AKP Malaungi] who obtained them from drug trafficking kingpins in the Bima City area,” Trunoyudo explained.
The KKEP panel also took into account narcotics abuse and immoral social misconduct as grounds for imposing the dishonourable discharge.
The Professional and Security Division (Divpropam) of the National Police had convened the ethics hearing against former Bima City police chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro in connection with alleged narcotics possession.
Didik entered the KKEP hearing room at the Transnational Crime Centre building at National Police Headquarters in Jakarta at approximately 09:43 local time. He was seen wearing full daily service uniform. The hearing room was tightly guarded by Provost personnel, preventing media from approaching. The hearing was conducted behind closed doors.
The National Police Criminal Investigation Agency’s Directorate of Narcotics Crime had announced on Friday, 13 February, that AKBP Didik had been named a suspect in alleged narcotics possession.
The case originated from the arrest of two domestic workers employed by police suspect Brigadier IR and his wife, AN, with 30.415 grammes of methamphetamine seized as evidence from their private residence. Interrogation by the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police Narcotics Directorate subsequently uncovered the involvement of AKP Malaungi in the trafficking network.
