It is impossible that they just did it."Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The government, in cooperation with the police, is investigating the Tolikara incident to find the perpetrators, Coordinating Minister for Political, Security and Legal Affairs Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno stated here on Monday.
"Based on the results of the meeting held here on Saturday, the police will conduct an investigation to see if the actions taken by the security personnel were in line with the procedures," he remarked at his office when asked to comment on the incident.
He revealed that one person had died, and 54 kiosks and a mushala (Islamic house of prayer) were burnt down in the incident.
He affirmed that it was impossible that incident could have occurred without anyone triggering it.
"It is impossible that they just did it. I think it initially started out as a demonstration, and certainly there was a coordinator behind it (field coordinator). It is impossible that it just happened at the spur of the moment," the minister noted.
Minister Tedjo stated that during the meeting at his office on Saturday, seven conclusions were reached, including enforcing the law against the perpetrators and intellectual actors behind it as well as investigating whether the security personnel had acted in line with the procedures.
"The police will also conduct an investigation to see if the actions taken by the security personnel there were in line with the procedures," he remarked.
He stated that the situation in Tolikara is now conducive, and security forces were on guard to anticipate against possible recurrence.
