Nasrudin died on March 15, 2009, in a hospital from fatal wounds sustained in a shooting at him as he was leaving the Modernland Golf Course in Tangerang. Nasrudin died at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital in Central Jakarta. The motive for the shooting remained a mystery for more than a month, when National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri announced the police had arrested nine suspects in the murder case.
A source with the National Police said a high-ranking police officer had been arrested in Bandung in relation to the murder case.
In response to Antasari's alleged involvement in the crime, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono expressed support to an investigation on the murder case that may implicate the key figure in the country's battle against corruption, the Corruption Eradication Commission chairman.
Commenting on the alleged involvement of Antasari in the murder, a political analyst Dr Sofyan Siregar, a roving lecturer at the Islamic University of North Sumatra, said actually this was an act of those who wanted to make Antasari trapped in a crime. As a clean figure who has the courage to capture whoever was allegedly involved in murder indiscriminately would be facing many rivals, he said.
