Mataram – Dozens of students and local leaders from Bima regency rallied outside the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Police headquarters in Mataram on Thursday to demand a trial of top officers in connection with a shooting incident that left a resident dead and four others injured.

The students, grouped under the Alliance of Youth and People, unfurled banners condemning the police's heavy-handed approach in handling protesters in Monta village, Belo district, Bima, on Wednesday.

NTB Police chief Brig. Gen. Surya Iskandar said he had set up a team to investigate the incident. Surya said the shooting happened when a police patrol was on the way to Ngali village in an effort to break up a brawl between residents of Ngali and Renda village.
