JAKARTA - The East Jakarta Metro Police have confiscated a pedigreed cat and several other items belonging to Indonesian House of Representatives member Uya Kuya, which were looted by a mob.
The confiscation of the evidence was carried out after the perpetrators were apprehended by police. The dozen perpetrators were mostly adults and one was a student.
"The evidence is varied, including air conditioners, shoes, sofas, and cats. There was only one cat," said the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the East Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Dicky Fertoffan, to VOI on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
Meanwhile, based on CCTV footage examined by investigators, police have identified the perpetrators.
"The CCTV footage is also part of the data that officers are still reviewing. Several perpetrators have also been identified from the CCTV data," he said.
Meanwhile, the estimated number of people who attacked and looted Uya Kuya's house is estimated to have reached hundreds.
"The estimated number of people is around 200-300. Due to the darkness, we cannot confirm the exact number," he said.
The raid on Uya Kuya's house is believed to have been prompted by a viral video of Uya Kuya dancing with other members of the House of Representatives (DPR) during the MPR Annual Session on August 15, 2025, and information about their large salaries, which sparked public anger.
