ABK Who Was Thrown Into The Sea Reported To The Penjaringan Police, But Even A Referral Letter Was Made To The DKI Social Service Office

JAKARTA - The crew of the ship (ABK) with the initials R (43) who claimed to have been dumped in the sea of Panggang Island, Thousand Islands, North Jakarta has reported the incident to the Penjaringan Police. However, he did not expect that the report would actually be transferred to the DKI Jakarta Social Service (Dinsos) in order to get facilities to return to his hometown.

"I want to make a report on the confiscation of cellphones, confiscation of money and beatings. But instead I received a referral letter to the DKI Jakarta Social Service to help me return to my village," said R, Thursday, October 9.

R admitted that he was resigned to the police's move to issue a letter to help return him to Palembang.

In fact, R wanted to report that he had been abused and confiscated his cellphone while he was working as a crew member on the Men's Single Ika Ship.

"Yang aniaya saya ada 3 orang inisial N, A dan W. Mereka orang terdekat tekong H. Sedangkan yang fokus mencari squid ada 8 orang," paparnya.

Previously, R (43) admitted that he almost died after being thrown into the sea in the waters of Panggang Island, Thousand Islands, North Jakarta. He admitted that he was tortured until he was finally thrown into the sea by the tekong of the squid search boat. R also admitted to being tortured and persecuted by other crew members who were on the squid search boat.

For 5 days, R admitted that he was not fed because he was sick in his legs and lungs.

To VOI, the victim with the initials R admitted that his right leg was injured after being hit by lead from the squid net while working on the ship.

However, there was no good faith and mercy from the ship boss where he worked. For several days, the wound on R's toe continued to swell and got worse.

"The injured leg was hit by lead from the squid net, asking not to give medicine," said victim R, Thursday, October 9, 2025.

Instead of getting treatment, R was not fed by the ship's boss.

"My legs and lungs hurt, I was sleeping and when I woke up I wanted to eat and was immediately hit. I was beaten by 3 people. I also haven't eaten for 5 days while on the first ship (Ika's single son's ship)," he said.

Then victim R was thrown into the ocean waters of Panggang Island by the ship's tekong.

"Disposed because it is considered useless (when sick). He said 'I am useless here (on the ship). The perpetrator threw the sentence while pointing at me. Then the ship that threw me into the sea," he said.

"The force that threw me into the sea. He just threw a white blank jerry can as a buoy," he said.

R swam while holding the empty jerry can. The victim's body was adrift in the ocean for several hours.

Then victim R was successfully evacuated to another ship after swimming across the waters of Panggang Island for 3 hours.

"I remember my wife, in the afternoon around 3 o'clock (R was evacuated to the fishing boat)," he said.

Then the victim was evacuated by another ship that also passed. The ship that evacuated victim R then docked in the Muara Angke area.

When the ship that evacuated the victim carried out loading and unloading in Muara Baru, victim R fled to return to his hometown in Palembang. But again, the victim admitted that he was being followed by 2 unknown people. The victim then went to the Penjaringan Police.
