Jakarta – Working People's Association (PRP) activists demanded police order a thorough investigation into the death of a university student in Garut, West Java, who died Monday after being shot in the head.

Garut Police said Thursday they found Herman with his friend, First Brig. Sofyan, playing Russian roulette at a boarding room. There were two other people in the room, including the tenant of the room, Lia.

"There were four chambers in the gun. They left one bullet in," Garut Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Amur Chandra was quoted as saying by news portal tribunnews.com. Sofyan was first to fire and he hit Herman, he added.

The PRP, however, questioned the police story. They said Herman, a National Students' League for Democracy (LMND) activist, staged a rally alongside locals at a PT Chevron Geothermal Indonesia plant in Garut to demand welfare in the area where energy giant Chevron operated.

Amur said his office would punish Sofyan for playing with his gun.
