According to Intan, prior to the incident, Nugraha said goodbye to join the convoy to celebrate Persib's success in winning Liga 1 after winning over Persis Solo. Usually he only watches matches at home, but this time he chooses to go directly to the streets celebrating this historic moment.

At that time he said goodbye with enthusiasm. But in the morning around 5 o'clock, I was called by the RSHS security officer. They said my husband fell off the bridge, "he recalled.

This tragedy serves as a reminder that celebration euphoria needs to be carried out in a safe and controlled manner, so as not to cause casualties in the midst of happiness.
