The Indonesian National Police Public Relations Division held a funeral prayer for the late Affan Kurniawan, an online motorcycle taxi driver who was the victim of a collision with a Brimob tactical vehicle.
According to an official statement, the absentee prayer was held at the National Police Public Relations Division Mosque, located at the National Police Headquarters Public Relations Division Building, Jakarta, on Friday, following Friday prayers. The service was led by Ustaz Ali Khalidin.
The Head of the Indonesian National Police Public Relations Division, Inspector General Sandi Nugroho, also attended the absentee prayer, along with senior officials (PJU) and personnel from the National Police Headquarters.
The series of services ended with a joint prayer that the late Affan Kurniawan would receive the best place in the sight of Allah SWT.
In addition, the congregation also prayed for the safety of the entire Indonesian nation and asked that the unity and integrity of the nation always be maintained in an atmosphere of peace.
The incident where a Brimob vehicle hit an online motorcycle taxi driver, Affan, occurred on Thursday (28/8) evening, after various elements of society who were holding a demonstration around the parliamentary complex, Jakarta, were pushed back by the police.
As a result, chaos spread across various areas around the parliamentary complex, from Palmerah, Senayan, to Pejompongan. The armed vehicle incident is suspected to have occurred in the Pejompongan area.
National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has apologized directly to the victim's family at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.
