I Filed a Police Complaint Against Nomni AI: Here's What Happened
An update to my ongoing labor dispute with Nomni AI (nomni.ai), PT Nomnie Technologies Indonesia, formerly Liven: on 8 September 2026 I filed a formal complaint with Polda Metro Jaya. This post describes what happened, from my side, and why I filed it. Under Indonesian criminal procedure, the parties named in a complaint like mine are, at this stage, "terlapor" (reported parties) — not "tersangka" (suspects) or convicted defendants. Nothing below is a finding of guilt; it's a description of what I reported and asked police to investigate.
This continues the account I've already written about my probation-period termination and bipartite dispute with Nomni AI (the fuller account is here). This post covers what happened after that dispute moved into mediation, and why I ultimately went to the police.
What led to the complaint
On 3 June 2026, the same day a bipartite/clarification session on my labor case was held at the Dinas Tenaga Kerja Kabupaten Tangerang, an HR representative from Nomni AI called me. During that call, I was told something to the effect of being "crazy like a dog" — a comment about my mental health. I have a documented diagnosis of Bipolar Affective Disorder and ADHD.
In response, on the same call and then again in writing, I told the HR representative about legal protections under Indonesia's new Criminal Code for people with mental disabilities, and I suggested — before anything escalated — that a formal cease-and-desist letter (somasi) would be the appropriate next step rather than a police report. The reply I received in writing referenced needing psychiatric hospital care ("RSJ") as a retort.
That same day, a police report was filed against me by the same HR representative, alleging defamation. I later learned the report's reference date for the alleged conduct was 22 April 2026 — one day after I received my termination notice.
Separately, the notice of termination I'd been given was signed by that HR representative under a claimed power of attorney from the company's director. I asked in writing, on the day I received it, for a copy of that power of attorney. I never received one — not when I asked, not through the bipartite process, and not by the time the labor dispute was closed via the Disnaker mediator's formal recommendation (Anjuran).
A law firm engaged by the company later sent me a cease-and-desist letter alleging I had posted content damaging to the company. The letter did not include any screenshots, links, account names, or dates for the content it referred to.
Separately again, a person identifying himself as a lawyer contacted me and said that unless I removed my LinkedIn profile, my earlier police report would be "reopened." He did not show a power of attorney authorizing him to act on the report, or to reopen it.
What I filed
Based on the above, on 8 September 2026 I submitted a formal public complaint (Aduan Masyarakat) to Polda Metro Jaya, naming PT Nomnie Technologies Indonesia and the specific staff and outside parties I believe were personally involved in each act as terlapor (reported parties) in the complaint, and asking police to investigate:
- The comments made about my mental health, under Indonesia's new Criminal Code provisions on minor insult (KUHP Baru, Pasal 436) and its electronic-means aggravation (Pasal 441).
- Whether the timing of the police report against me — filed the same day I'd raised disability-rights protections in writing — obstructed my right to equal access to legal process as a person with a disability, under UU No. 8/2016 (Pasal 143 jo. Pasal 145).
- Whether the termination notice's claimed power of attorney, which was never produced despite my written request, was accurately represented.
- Whether the cease-and-desist letter was issued without the evidentiary basis a licensed advocate is expected to verify beforehand.
- The threat to reopen a resolved police matter without a shown power of attorney.
I'm not a lawyer, and filing a complaint is not a finding. At this stage, everyone I named is a terlapor — a reported party under investigation — not a tersangka (suspect) or a convicted defendant. Whether any of this becomes a criminal case is for the police and, if relevant, the Advocate ethics process to determine. I'm documenting it here because it's a direct continuation of the employment dispute I've already written about, and because I think the sequence of events — legal warning given, then a police report and public-image cease-and-desist that followed the same day and weeks after — is relevant context for anyone evaluating that dispute.
Nomni AI and the individuals involved have not had a chance to respond in this post, and I'm not asserting their guilt — only describing what I experienced and what I've asked police to look into as terlapor in my complaint.
