H. Alawi allegedly insulted TGH Ajibar, which sparked the anger of TGH Ajibar's congregation members, who then came to H. Alawi's house. However, H. Alawi was not at home at that time.
After that, the local village administration and the police tried to make peace for both parties.

"H. Alawi then came to TGH Ajibar's house to apologize," said Habib, as reported by Radarlombok.co.id.
Spontaneously, TGH Ajibar's congregation members flocked to his house to witness the apology.
When the meeting took place, police members suddenly came and allegedly fired shots.
As a result, Hasbi and M. Kadry were reportedly hit by wrong shots.
"There was a lot of blood," Habib said.
The two victims were eventually rushed to the nearest health center and are still being treated there.
Not accepting the incident, the victims' families say they will report to the West Nusa Tenggara Police.
"We ask that the perpetrators be thoroughly investigated and processed according to the applicable mechanism," said Habib.
Meanwhile, East Lombok Police chief Senior Adjutant Commissioner Herman Suriyono strongly denied any wrong shootings by his members. According to the police, two people were injured not because of being shot, but because they were hit by blunt objects. (RL/der/mcr20/JPNN)
