Previously it was reported the police shot six of ten people who were said sympathizers of FPI at Kilometer 50 of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road on Monday morning.

The Police Chief of Jakarta, Inspector General Fadil Imran, said the shooting of the six people occurred because they were suspected of assaulting their ranks while carrying out investigations into the Rizieq case.

According to Fadil, three real firearms bullets were utilized to attack the police.

“Members who were threatened with their safety because of being attacked, then took firm and measured action against the group suspected of being MRS followers, and as many as six people died,” said Fadil in a press conference.

However, the Secretary of FPI Munarman denied that Rizieq’s guards had attacked the police first.

Munarman regretted the police’s admission that six of Rizieq’s bodyguards were shot dead for the attack.

“Not true. The FPI Laskar never owned firearms. Of course, there must be legal accountability from the party who committed the murder,” said Munarman, emphasizing.
