The Man Who Tried Committing Suicide At Kembangan Shophouse In West Jakarta Has A Loan Debt Of Rp90 Million

Man who attempted suicide was rescued by joint officers

JAKARTA - The Head of the Kembangan Sector Police, Commissioner of Police H. Khoiri, said that Hen (25), a young man who almost ended his life by trying to jump from the 4th floor of Ruko Raffles Belmon, Srengseng, Kembangan, West Jakarta, had debt problems.

"Hen has a debt problem through an online loan (pinjol) of around Rp90 million," said Commissioner H. Khoiri to VOI, Sunday, November 21 night.

Because of the loan debt of Rp90 million, Hen chose to play the money by playing online gambling. But instead of being lucky and winning, Hen's finances actually collapsed without a trace. In addition, Hen is also often terrorized by those online loans.

"Hen plays online slot gambling, but he never gets it. So he is frustrated because he is often terrorized by loan services," he said.

According to the police chief, the incident began when the man from Tangerang was with his friend HA (23) on the 4th floor of the shophouse. Hen then handed over his cellphone to HA.

After HA came down and came back, suddenly Hen was beside the window about to commit suicide. HA immediately asked the head of the shop with the initials BU (32) to persuade Hen who was about to commit suicide.

The incident was then reported to the Kembangan Police. Arriving at the location, the police and firefighters then persuaded Hen.

"Hen was persuaded not to jump, then Hen was lifted again up the window by tying him with a rope from the fire extinguisher," he said.
