Roles of Wife and Female Officer Revealed in Former Bima Police Chief's Drug Case
Jakarta — The latest developments in the drug case ensnaring former Bima City police chief AKBP Didik Putra Kuncoro have once again proved shocking. The Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) of the Indonesian National Police has exposed the roles of two women drawn into the affair: his wife, Miranti Afriana, and a female police officer, Aipda Dianita Agustina.
The disclosure was made directly by the Director of Narcotics Crime at Bareskrim, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso. He explained that the involvement of both women came to light after Didik admitted he was still keeping narcotics and psychotropic substances in a white suitcase, which had been entrusted to his former subordinate, Aipda Dianita.
“Aipda DA is a member of the South Tangerang Metropolitan Police who served under AKBP DPK (Didik) from 2016 to 2017, specifically when AKBP DPK was serving as head of the Serpong sector police,” said Eko, as quoted on Saturday, 21 February 2026.
The superior-subordinate relationship reportedly continued beyond that posting. Dianita not only served as his subordinate but also acted as a driver for Miranti. On 11 February, the Internal Affairs Bureau (Paminal) of the Professional and Security Division (Divpropam) together with the Narcotics Directorate of Bareskrim searched Dianita’s home in Tangerang, Banten. There, the white suitcase in question was finally recovered.
“A white suitcase was found containing evidence comprising seven plastic clips of crystal methamphetamine with a total weight of 16.3 grammes, 49 ecstasy tablets and two partially consumed tablets, 19 alprazolam pills, two ‘happy five’ pills, and five grammes of ketamine,” said Eko.
Examination revealed that on 6 February, Miranti had been instructed by Didik to contact Dianita. Through Miranti, Didik requested that the suitcase be removed from his private residence in Tangerang. Dianita claimed she harboured no suspicion and immediately carried out the order.
“The reason Aipda DA (Dianita) carried out the order was that she received it from MA (Miranti). Furthermore, Aipda DA was aware of the significant difference in rank between AKBP DPK (Didik) and herself, so she did not dare refuse the order. She also refrained from discarding the suitcase out of fear of destroying evidence,” he said.
The Narcotics Crime Directorate of Bareskrim announced on Friday, 13 February, that AKBP Didik had been formally named a suspect in the alleged possession of narcotics.
