After the refugees were evacuated from the strip, Sukadji's company was attached to the Sabirin Battalion (later changed to Sikatan Battalion).[2]

Sukadji's subordinate, Soekotjo Sastrodinoto, who commanded a platoon, captured left-wing revolutionary leader Tan Malaka. He ordered Tan Malaka's execution by one of his men, Suradi Tekebek, and buried his body in a grave in the middle of a forest. Sukadji later received a report about the execution verbally from Soekotjo, and Sukadji later reported it to his superior Surachmad. The issue was never talked about again, although Sukadji told it secretly to his roommate Soedarto, while he was hospitalized in 1958.[2]
