Arya Dipa, Bandung – A member of the police's Mobile Brigade (Brimob) – identified as Chief Brig. Dian – was detained by the West Java Police internal affairs department for assaulting Chandra Situmorang, a civilian.
According to West Java Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Martinus Sitompul, the altercation erupted between Dian and Chandra due to a traffic issue.
"Chandra warned Dian to drive his care more carefully as he drove dangerously close to his motorbike on Jl. Gardujati. Dian took offence at what he deemed to be rough words. He then chased Chandra, punched him in the face and shot at his motorbike three times before fleeing the scene," Martinus said on Saturday.
An eye witness managed to record Dian's registration number and reported the incident to the police. Dian was later arrested along with his three other people. The police confiscated three bullets and a revolver as evidence.
