Reported by the accused, Parluhutan Samosir, to the Propam Polri regarding the stalled supervision of the Bagwassidik Ditreskrimum Polda Sumut regarding the Sprindik issued by the Polres of Asahan Criminal Investigation Unit without an investigation.

progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – A seemingly farcical legal case in Asahan Regency, North Sumatera, has now entered a new half-time stage. The issuance of the Investigation Order (Sprindik) No. SP.Sidik/116/IV/RES.1.9/2026/Reskrim dated April 8, 2026, and the Investigation Task Order (SPT) No. Sp.GasSidik/502/IV/RES.1.9/2026/Reskrim dated April 8, 2026, have reportedly been placed on the radar of the Investigation Supervisory Section (Bagwassidik) of the General Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimum) of the Polda of North Sumatera.

The Sprindik and SPT were issued by the Polres of Asahan Criminal Investigation Unit following up on a police report (LP) No. LP/B/234/III/SPKT/POLRES ASAHAN/POLDA SUMATERA UTARA dated March 10, 2026, filed by Meryana Sibarani, the complainant. The LP concerns the alleged forgery of Land Certificate (SKT) No. 500.17/002/2003/IV/2025 in the name of the reported party, Parluhutan Samosir.

The SKT in question was signed by the Head of Hamlet VII, Suriono, and the Village Head of Rawang Pasar IV, Semiin, on April 23, 2025.

Up until this point, everything seemed to be proceeding procedurally according to the rules. However, as the next narrative began, the procedural direction began to deviate.

The alleged irregularities were complaints from the reported party, Parluhutan Samosir, regarding the Sprindik and SPT issued.  The warrant, he said, could easily bypass the investigation or inquest process without any guilt.

“As far as i know, an investigation can only be conducted after going through the investigative stages in accordance with Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code (New Criminal Procedure Code). Isn’t it possible to enjoy the investigation by skipping the investigative stage?” Parluhutan Samosir told the author in an annoyed tone.

He argued, that in handling any case, regardless of its form, an investigation must first be conducted to seek and obtain legal evidence. Once that evidence is obtained, the case can be escalated to the investigation level. This is similar to the case he is currently facing, where he is a defendant in an alleged land title fraud case.

“Investigators should have clarified or confronted the case before issuing the Sprindik and SPT. This time, there was no clarification or confrontation, and the Sprindik and SPT were immediately issued. Who is actually violating ethics?” he explained.

Reported by the accused, Parluhutan Samosir, to the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) regarding the Sprindik issued by the Polres of Asahan Criminal Investigation Unit without an investigation.

Responding to the flawed case handling process, Parluhutan admitted to filing an online complaint with the Polri’s Propam (Propam) on April 17, 2026, requesting that it be addressed.

The online complaint, filed on the website yanduan.propam.polri.go.id, was registered under the number 260417000056 and the complaint code 5617MUXK. A day later, the report was immediately received by the Polda of North Sumatera’s Propam.  It was also explained that the Head of the Polda of North Sumatera Propam had approved the report and was ready to process it.

However, for the initial stage, Propam would first hand over investigative authority to the Investigation Supervisory Sector (Bagwassidik) of the Polda of North Sumatera’s Ditreskrimum to supervise violations. If ethical violations are found, the process would be returned to Propam for action.

This statement was clearly dated April 18, 2026. However, as of Wednesday, May 6, 2026, no further progress had been received. The case remained stalled, with the 18-day period having passed. When contacted the Head of the Investigation Supervisory Section (Kabag Wassidik) of the Polda of North Sumatera’s Ditreskrimum, AKBP Wahyudi Rahman, remained silent and refused to explain the reason for the stall. WhatsApp messages sent to him consistently received two checkmarks but were never responded to.

The Director of General Crimes at the Polda of North Sumatera, Kombes Pol Ricko Taruna Mauruh also chose to delegate the matter to the Head of Public Relations at the Polda of North Sumatera when contacted. This is despite the Head of the Supervisory and Security Sector being his direct subordinate.

“Please confirm with the Public Relations Department, as that’s my response mechanism. If there are any issues, please file a public complaint with the Internal Affairs Department (Propam), the Regional Supervisory Agency (Itwasda), or the Investigation Supervision (Wassidik) those are the areas provided. Thank you,” said Kombes Pol Ricko in response to the author’s inquiry.

The Head of Public Relations for the Polda of North Sumatera, Kombes Pol Ferry Walintukan, expressed a similar sentiment. Attempts to confirm this as directed by Kombes Pol Ricko went unanswered.

The Sprindik case without an investigation originated from a Police Report (LP) to the Polres of Asahan Criminal Investigation Unit regarding alleged forgery of a Land Certificate (SKT), which the Kisaran District Court had already ratified and finalized.

For the record, the case facing Parluhutan Samosir is essentially the same as the civil case already decided by the Kisaran District Court. In the civil case, Parluhutan, as the defendant, faces nine plaintiffs: Budiman Krisman Sibarani, Muhammad Ismail Pontas Sibarani, Helena Sibarani, Ruminta Sibarani, and Meryana Sibarani, who also filed a criminal complaint with the Asahan Police Criminal Investigation Unit.

Regarding the civil lawsuit itself, the Kisaran District Court Panel of Judges issued a final and binding decision in 2025. In its decision, the Panel of Judges rejected all of the plaintiff’s arguments because they were not supported by valid and sufficient documentary evidence. This also included unsupported testimony from witnesses presented by the plaintiff. This decision is registered under Number 138/Pdt.G/2025/PN Kis.

“I hold the Kisaran District Court’s 2025 decision. In 2026, i was reported to the Asahan Police on charges of falsifying land certificates. The case was the same, only the status changed from civil to criminal. Then, the Sprindik and SPT were issued, and an investigation was conducted without any preliminary investigation. Hello, she has an ulterior motive, absolutely, right?” he said jabbing at the complainant.

Parluhutan also stated, that investigators had actually sent invitation letters twice, but she failed to attend.  The reason is that the invitation letter sent was based on a report from Budiman Krisman Sibarani and Muhammad Ismail Pontas Sibarani, who are currently in prison.

Meanwhile, the Sprinsidik was issued based on a report from Meryana Sibarani.

“If i were invited again for the investigation of the new complainant, Meryana Sibarani, i would definitely attend. But the facts are different,” he added.

The defendant has also reported the irregularities in this case online to the Polri Commission (Kompolnas). The report is registered under the number NTPPO: 0239/IV/SKM-ONLINE/2026.

“In addition to the complaint to Propam, i also reported it to Kompolnas because the Polda of North Sumatera have remained silent regarding the irregularities in the process carried out by the Polres of Asahan Criminal Investigation Unit,” said Parluhutan.

“So everyone knows this is how the Polda of North Sumatera Criminal Investigation Directorate really is towards the people of North Sumatra. The slogan is Precision, zip it, or keep quiet!”  he added in a spicy tone.
