Doctor Richard Lee Officially Detained by Police Following Detective Doctor's Report

Shocking news comes from Doctor Richard Lee. After undergoing a series of intensive examinations at Polda Metro Jaya, this beauty doctor and YouTuber was seen being escorted out of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus) building on Friday (3/6/2026) night. This moment is strongly suspected to be a sign of his detention in connection with the case against him.

Observations at the location showed Richard Lee exiting under tight police escort. His appearance looked different than usual, with both hands covered by the clothes he was wearing, fueling speculation that his hands were handcuffed. The doctor, who is usually vocal on social media, chose to remain silent when bombarded with questions by the media crew.

Richard Lee, wearing a white shirt and a mask covering part of his face, only hung his head low while continuing to walk. He was escorted to the Directorate of Prison Care and Evidence (Tahti) at Polda Metro Jaya, reinforcing suspicions that he would soon be behind bars.

When confirmed about the status of the detention, the investigator accompanying Richard Lee only gave a nod without providing an official statement. As of the time this news was published, the Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Budi Hermanto, has not provided further information regarding the details of this detention.

This detention is a result of a report filed by Samira Farahnaz, also known as Doctor Detective (Doktif). The conflict between these two doctors began from a heated dispute on social media that then escalated to the legal realm.

Doktif reported Richard Lee for alleged violations of the Consumer Protection Law and violations in the health sector. The report is registered with the number LP/B/7317/XII/2024/SPKT Polda Metro Jaya since December 2, 2024.

The Head of the Public Relations Subdivision of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Reonald Simanjuntak, previously explained that the determination of the suspect against Richard Lee was based on the report from Doktif. This suspect status has actually been held by Richard Lee since December 15, 2025.

The core issue of this case revolves around allegations of overclaim or excessive claims on several beauty products owned by Richard Lee's company, such as White Tomato and DNA Salmon. Doktif alleges that the composition of these products does not match what is stated on the packaging label, which is considered detrimental to consumers.

The legal action taken by Doktif seems to be the peak of their long-standing feud. The public is now awaiting the continuation of this legal process, whether it will proceed to court or if there will be other efforts made by Richard Lee's side.

The detention of Richard Lee certainly draws significant attention, considering his popularity as a health influencer who often provides education about beauty products. This case also serves as a reminder for business actors to be more careful in making product claims to the general public.
