"There has been no legal violation in the incident," the Indonesian Police spokesman, Brig.Gen Mohammad Iqbal, said here on Monday.
After a picture of the scattered e-ID cards went viral on social media, the Bogor police had immediately investigated the case. According to the police investigation, the e-ID cards were part of goods the Population and Civil Registration Directorate General of the Home Affairs Ministry had transported from Pasar Minggu, Jakarta, to its storage facility in Semplak, Bogor, on Saturday. It had hired a firm for the job.
"Among the transported assets are unused chairs, tables, and cabinets, besides defective e-ID cards," Iqbal said.
Two boxes of the defective e-ID cards fell out of the truck when it passed Jl Raya Salabenda in Kemang subdistrict, Bogor. "When they (the e-ID cards) were scattered, a local citizen took a picture and it went viral on social media," Iqbal added.
The boxes were immediately put back into the truck and transported to the ministry`s storage facility in Semplak. "We have counted them, nothing has been lost."
The e-ID cards came from various regions, and were returned to the ministry and replaced with new ones.
