Investigation Conducted Through Crime Scene Analysis and Forensic Examination
Deli Serdang Police Chief Kombes Pol Hendria Lesmana explained that his office received a report regarding the incident on June 16, 2026. Following the report, police immediately carried out several investigative procedures, including crime scene processing, witness interviews, and forensic examinations.
Based on all examinations conducted, police concluded that the damage to the window at the official residence of the Deputy Regent of
Deli Serdang was not caused by a firearm projectile.
The conclusion was further confirmed by the examination results of the North Sumatra Police Forensic Laboratory. Head of the Sub-Division of the North Sumatra Police Forensic Laboratory, AKBP Roy Siburian, stated that the forensic team found no characteristics on the damaged area that indicated a bullet impact.
Furthermore, the examination found no residue suggesting that a firearm had been used during the incident.
"We also examined possible traces caused by projectile friction using chemical testing methods. The results were negative. Based on all investigation findings, it can be concluded that the broken window was not caused by a projectile," AKBP Roy Siburian said.
Based on the crime scene examination results and witness statements, the investigation team believes the window may have been damaged by a small stone impact. The stone could have been thrown when workers carried out garden cleaning activities using a lawn mower the day before the incident.
