Controversy

On April 29, 2016, Sholeh was reportedly persecuted by a group of people in Serang, Banten, for arriving late to a lecture. Sholeh arrived late at 00:00 in the morning due to the committee giving him the wrong information about the venue, thus making him take the longer route to get to the place. Sholeh had denied the news of the persecution at first, [3] but later he proceeded to the prosecution of the committee by appointing Hotmas Paris Hutapea as his attorney. [4]

On June 3, 2017, Sholeh was arrested by the airport security of the immigration authority at Changi Airport, Singapore. He was detained in an isolated room for 10 hours and endured interrogations for an unknown reason. [5]
