TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM - Members of the Katingan Police Narcotics Unit conducting a drug operation in Tumbang Kalemei Village early Thursday (July 2, 2026) encountered resistance from the family of a suspected methamphetamine dealer. When the clash broke out, several police officers who had fled to the river were chased by the perpetrators. The group even used kelotok boats to pursue them. This was revealed by the Central Kalimantan Police Chief, Inspector General Iwan Kurniawan, in a press statement in Palangka Raya on Tuesday (July 7, 2026). The Police Chief stated that the resistance erupted after being provoked by shouts of "robbery," which prompted the crowd to arrive armed. The police team then decided to retreat for fear of escalating the clash and causing civilian casualties. Several officers reportedly swam 400 meters before coming to shore on a small piece of land in the middle of the river. At the location, they regrouped and learned that several officers had been injured. However, the perpetrators apparently pursued the group, both by land and in a boat in the river. As a result, the police decided to return to the Katingan River. Meanwhile, National Police Commission Commissioner Mochammad Choirul Anam, on the same occasion, revealed the injuries on the bodies of the fallen officers. According to Anam, one of the victims had a gunshot wound, suspected to have been caused by a homemade firearm. Anam stated that this incident demonstrated that the perpetrators still resisted the drug eradication efforts. Therefore, his office is coordinating with the Katingan Regency Government to support law enforcement officers in combating drugs. The Regional Police Chief himself firmly stated that his team would not back down from eradicating drugs, even though three of his officers were killed during the raid.
