However, dozens of unknown people broke into hotel people through the back door and escaped police surveillance.

"When we focused on securing the demonstration activities in front, suddenly we received information that an unknown group of people entered through the back gate," Edy told reporters at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Saturday afternoon.

Edy also confirmed that the crowd who entered through the back door carried out the destruction. He said the unknown people were different from the masses who held demonstrations.

"Massa, who carried out the damage, came in. We don't know because we don't know what to do inside, because there is no notification to the Police or Polres regarding activities. So people are different from groups who do it," he said.
