So far, 12 staff members have been questioned by investigators. Democracy The Advocacy Team for Delpedro et al (TAUD) "strongly suspects" that this action indicates police uncertainty regarding the initial charges. "Because in the latest developments, all Lokataru staff and interns are also being examined," said TAUD representative, Muhammad Fadhil Alfathan, on Tuesday (16/9/2025).

The summons for Iqbal was received directly by him at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Headquarters on September 12, while he was assisting with the examination of other Lokataru staff. The examination of legal counsel raises serious questions regarding potential obstacles to access to legal assistance, which is a fundamental right of every citizen.
