The National Police Spokesman Insp. Gen. Setyo Wasisto said that police are studying the case and questioning three main witnesses. Police’s initial conclusion is that Nahdlatul Ulama's Ansor youth wing (Banser) members burnt the flag which they believed represented the now disbanded Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI).

“Initial statements from the three witnesses that were apprehended by the Garut police suggested that the group burnt the flag that represented HTI, a group banned under the country’s law,” said Setyo Wasisto today.
