The Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Setyo Wasisto, emphasized that the police will pursue the perpetrators who spread hoax news about the throwing of the Koran at the Mobile Brigade Headquarters, Depok, West Java.

According to him, the trigger for the rioting of terrorist prisoners was because prisoners did not accept being raided on their cell phones.

"That (the issue of throwing the Koran) is a hoax. We will find (the perpetrator)," said Setyo at the National Police Headquarters, Monday (11/13/2017).

The hoax news through the chain message circulated on Friday (11/10/2017) after the riot at the Mako Brimob detention center occurred. Setyo said the fake news was provocative and dangerous.

"We'll find out who uploaded it later. If it's the news that provokes the danger," said Setyo.

Setyo appealed to the public not to be easily provoked by fake news. "This can damage, cause noise, and even cause victims if you are not careful," said Setyo.
