PSI Deputy Chairman Bro Ron Files Counter-Report on Assault
The counter-report was confirmed by the Head of Criminal Investigation at the Metro Jakarta Central Police Resort, AKBP Roby Heri Saputra. The report by the complainant, Muhammad Rizal Berhet, was registered under number LP/B/34/V/2026/SPKT at the Metro Menteng Police Sector, dated 4 May 2026.
“It is true that the alleged assault perpetrator has filed a counter-report. The counter-report at the Menteng Police Sector concerns assault,” Roby said when contacted on Wednesday (6/5/2026).
In a separate confirmation, the complainant named M. Rizal Berhet stated that he reported Ronald under Article 466 of the Criminal Code for the criminal act of assault. Rizal also mentioned that Bro Ron directed racial slurs at him.
“Correct, I filed the counter-report against the individual. The report relates to the assault and mobbing accompanied by inappropriate insults,” he said.
Rizal claimed that Ronald assaulted him first. In addition, Rizal said Ronald allegedly directed racial remarks at him.
“Correct (Ronald struck first), he punched my stomach hitting my solar plexus. Yes, correct (the respondent directed racial slurs). ’Who the f*** are you, whose slave are you, you’re a maid, a basic monkey doll a**hole’,” Rizal said.
Through his personal Instagram account, Ronald denied the racism allegations. Ronald is seen sitting on a hospital bed accompanied by several people, including employees of PT SKS and his personal staff from Ambon.
“So I was defending the oppressed, I have employees, so where does the racism claim come from?” Ronald said.
The Background of Bro Ron’s Assault
The Head of Public Relations at the Metro Jakarta Central Police Resort, Iptu Erlyn Sumantri, explained that the assault incident occurred on Monday (4/5) at 16:22 WIB. Initially, Ronald arrived with 15 PT SKS employees to hold an audience at the MPP law firm regarding the unpaid wages of the employees.
“Because the audience could not meet with the MPP party as the one being demonstrated against, the Metro Menteng Police Sector took the initiative to hold mediation at the Metro Menteng Police Sector office,” Erlyn explained on Tuesday (5/5).
He said that the audience at the law firm location initially proceeded safely and conducively with police accompaniment. However, a group of unknown individuals then appeared and, without clear reason, carried out intimidation and obstructed the audience process.
“As a result of the actions of that group, the situation heated up and an argument arose until the victim received punches from that group,” Erlyn clarified.
“Then, officers separated the victim and the respondent and secured them to be brought to the Metro Menteng Police Sector for further examination,” he added.
