JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Ronald A Sinaga or Bro Ron, revealed the chronology of the beating he suffered in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta. The incident occurred when he accompanied PT SKS employees to conduct an audience at the law firm's office.
"Monday afternoon around 16.00 I accompanied PT SKS employees at their request to attend a meeting at the law firm Michael, Putra & Partners," he said when confirmed by the media, Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
Bro Ron explained that his presence in the meeting was because he had a previous professional relationship with the law firm that was contacted. So he was asked to help the mediation process. However, the situation then heated up when three unknown people came to the location when employees carried out an action in front of the office.
"Why did you invite me? Because the head of the legal office is my former partner last year and I was asked to help mediate," he said.
According to him, the three people who suddenly came claimed to be security personnel and asked the crowd to leave the building area. Then there was a verbal altercation between him, the employee, and the three people.
The tension eased after the police from the Menteng Police who were at the location escorted the three people out of the floor of the crime scene.
"About 15 minutes later, they went back to the fourth floor and not long after they came down the stairs, there was a beating like in the video," he said.

"An investigation is also being conducted to determine whether there are elements of planning or the involvement of other parties in the incident," he concluded.
In a video that went viral on social media (Medsos), a man wearing a cream shirt approached the victim while speaking in a high tone.
