Viral, KontraS Activist Was Sprayed with Hard Water in Salemba, Central Jakarta

JAKARTA - Deputy Koodinator of KontraS, Andrie Yunus, was the victim of a water spray by two perpetrators riding a motor matic in the Jalan Salemba 1, Talang, Senen District, Central Jakarta area.

The incident was recorded by a CCTV surveillance camera at the scene. In the footage, the two perpetrators were suspected of having previously driven in the same direction as the victim's motorcycle.

Then the motorcycle driven by the two perpetrators had preceded the victim's motorcycle and turned in the same direction or faced the victim's motorcycle.

The perpetrator was seen walking slowly around the intersection of the river bridge. After the two motorbikes passed by at a close distance, the perpetrator was seen in the CCTV footage pouring a liquid allegedly hard water into the victim's face.

Due to this incident, the motorcycle driven by Andrie Yunus then pulled over and left his motorcycle while screaming in pain.

The alleged hard water hit Andrie's right body and face. Because the victim kept screaming hysterically, so the surrounding residents crowded to approach the victim.

The incident also drew the anger of residents around it until they tried to find the whereabouts of the perpetrator.

Due to this incident, Andrie was immediately taken to the hospital for intensive care. He was declared to have suffered 24% burns due to the incident.

It is just known that Andrie is one of the activists who had a demonstration at the Fairmont hotel when the DPR secretly discussed the ratification of the TNI bill last year. Andrie was also part of the Fact Finding Commission (KPF) regarding the demonstrations and riots in August 2025.

Regarding the incident, the Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Budi Hermanto, has not responded when confirmed by VOI via WhatsApp message on Friday, March 13, evening.
