Ogan Ilir, KOTABARI.COM – The Head of Teluk Kecapi Village in Pemulutan Sub-district, Ogan Ilir, was caught by police and local residents while being alone with a woman who is not his official partner on Friday night (May 31, 2024). This incident went viral on social media on Saturday (June 1, 2024).
It was revealed that the woman with the village head is a widow, while the village head himself is known to have a family. In the video circulating online, the village head is seen pulling up his sagging pants as he gets caught, while the woman hurriedly runs away from the camera. “Teluk Kecapi Village Head is cheating!” shouted the person recording the video.
Following the raid, police and residents took the village head and his alleged mistress to the Pemulutan Police Station. Pemulutan Police Chief AKP Marinus Ginting confirmed the incident. “Yes, last night Bhabinkamtibmas officers and residents secured the two individuals,” Marinus said over the phone.
Currently, the Pemulutan Police are still interrogating both individuals before handing them over to the Ogan Ilir Police for further investigation. “We cannot yet confirm if it was an affair. The Women’s and Children’s Services (PPA) unit of the Ogan Ilir Police will handle the examination,” Marinus stated.
The Pemulutan Police Chief also emphasized that the alleged infidelity case is a report-based offense. “Without a report, it cannot proceed. Since the woman is a widow and the village head is married, a formal complaint is required,” he explained.
This event has garnered significant attention from the public, both in real life and on social media, given the village head’s position as a public official and the moral and ethical standards expected of a community leader.
