The mukena fetish case emerged after another victim with the initials JT created a thread on his personal Twitter account regarding the alleged fetish. After that, several other women also claimed to have experienced the same thing.

JT, who is a female model in Malang City, East Java, is suspected of being the victim of a fetish by someone with a social media account. The incident occurred after the female victim did a photo shoot for a mukena product.
