“When the victim, identified as A, was passing on the road riding the motorcycle, he was stopped by an unknown man (the reported perpetrator),” said the Bojongsari Police Chief, Commissioner Fauzan Thohari, when contacted on Tuesday (June 2, 2026).

He stated that the victim was accused of committing misconduct against one of the perpetrator’s family members. The perpetrator then took the victim’s motorcycle under the pretext of needing to clarify the matter with his family.
