IPW Asks Police Not to Be Afraid of Arresting Child of Kiai Jombang, Suspect of Obscenity

JombangIndonesia Police Watch speak up regarding the sexual abuse case by the kiai’s son Jombang, Moch Subchi Azal Tsani (MSAT) alias Mas Bechi (42), against a number of female students. IPW asked the police not to be afraid to arrest Mas Bechi.

“IPW states that it supports the East Java Police in enforcing the law against the MSA suspect (Mas Bechi) and must carry the hashtag #polisijangankalah in order to arrest the suspect for molesting female students who have been set since 2019,” said IPW Chair Sugeng Teguh Santoso in his statement, Wednesday (6/7/2022).

“This is to remind law enforcement officers not to be afraid and afraid to face challenges in their duties because the people who love justice are behind the police,” he continued.

Sugeng highlighted a number of obstacles faced by the police when trying to arrest Mas Bechi. He reminded those who hindered the police from arresting Mas Bechi could be subject to criminal sanctions, namely Article 256 of the Criminal Code.

“IPW supports the East Java Regional Police’s steps under the leadership of the Police Chief Inspector General Nico Afinta in enforcing the law on the alleged molestation case and processing the parties that hindered legal action by the police,” he explained.

The East Java Regional Police, said Sugeng, must be firm in mobilizing all power and efforts with the strength of their personnel for Mas Bechi. The escape of Mas Bechi’s arrest some time ago could be a valuable lesson.

“Every effort must be made by the police so that people don’t think that the police are subject to mass pressure that is not in accordance with the law,” he continued.

Efforts to force Mas Bechi to arrest, explained Sugeng, must be carried out sooner or later. Because the legal process related to arresting and then bringing the suspect to the prosecutor’s office is clear.

“If this drags on, it will reduce the image of the Police in society,” said Sugeng.

Sugeng asked Mas Bechi to turn himself in. “On the other hand, IPW urges all parties, especially MSA’s extended family to be sincere and willing to follow legal procedures because with the status of a suspect, he has not been declared guilty and can defend himself honorably later in court,” he concluded.

Bechi Has Been a DPO for 6 Months

As is known, Mas Bechi has been accused of molesting his female students for more than two years. In fact, he has been designated as a DPO for six months.

The chase action like an action movie occurred during the arrest of Bechi. A joint team from the East Java Police and the Jombang Police chased the 13 cars that Bechi was suspected of driving.

The police managed to stop 11 cars, but it turned out that Bechi was suspected of riding one of the two cars that managed to escape.

From this failed pursuit, the Ditreskrimum of the East Java Police then tracked Bechi’s position. It turned out that he was at the Majma’al Bachroin Islamic Boarding School Hubbul Wathon Minal Iman Shiddiqiyyah, Losari Village, Ploso, Jombang.

The police also tried to come to this boarding school. Around 200 personnel were deployed from the Jombang Police and the East Java Police. Even the police received personnel assistance from the TNI. The arrest was led directly by the Dirreskrimum Polda East Java.

Once there, the process of catching Bechi was not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Finally, Jombang Police Chief AKBP Moh Nurhidayat had to step down alone. Without the escort of his men, Nurhidayat went to the kiai to negotiate. He thought the negotiations would take place in the room. However, he was confronted by hundreds of members of the congregation.

“I thought the negotiations were in a special room, it turned out that I was faced with a congregation who was easily provoked. It was very vulnerable, so I didn’t argue for long,” said Nurhidayat to detikJatim, Monday (4/7).
