Indonesian police fired tear gas at hundreds of protesters on Friday outside the Jakarta headquarters of a paramilitary unit. The death of Affan Kurniawan, a motorcycle taxi driver, sparked the demonstration.

A video showing a police tactical vehicle running over Kurniawan went viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism of police actions.

President Prabowo Subianto said he has ordered an official investigation into the incident.
