Putut was previously deputy chief of the Jakarta Metro Jaya Police command. He now replaces Brigadier General Agus Kusnadi who was transferred to the post of senior adviser on security policy analysis at the National Police Headquarters.
The replacement was based on the Police Chief`s telegram number STR/105/II/2011 dated February 11,2011.
Brigadier General Agus Kusnadi was the chief of the Banten regional police command when a clash occurred between Ahmadiyah members and an anti-Ahmadiyah group out at Cikeusik, Pandeglang Distirct, Banten Province, on February 6, 2011.
Three people were killed and five others were injured in the bloody incident.
The National Police`s head of public relations Inspector General Anton Bachrul Alam last Friday (Feb 11) had announced that the chief of Banten`s regional police command, Brigadier General Agus Kusnadi, was replaced following the clash at Cikeusik.
"He is moved for organizational purposes because a system has not been operated well," the National Police`s head of public relations Inspector General Anton Bachrul Alam said here on Friday.
Brig. Gen Agus Kusnadi would be assigned as an expert staff at the national police headquarters, Anton said. He would be replaced by Brigadier General Putut Bayuseno who is formerly vice chief of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Command, he added.
Anton said Brig Gen Agus Kusnadi was considered not carrying out a system of policing when the clash.
Besides the chief of the Banten regional police command, the national police chief has also decided to replace the director of intelligence and security of the Banten regional police command, Senior Commissioner Des Aditiawarman.
He would be replaced by Adjunct Senior Commissioner Sudaryanto who is formerly the vice director of intelligence and security of the Jambi regional police command.
The chief of the Padeglang resort police command, Adjunct Senior Commissioner Alex Fauzi Rasad meanwhile would be replaced by Adjunct Senior Commissioner Ady Soeseno, formerly head of analysis department of the Directorate of Narcotics of Banten`s regional police command.
The Banten regional police have named five suspects in the case of violence in Cikeusik.(*)
