JAKARTA - The man with the initials RPB (54) who had brandished an airsoft gun at a construction worker with the initials SES in a housing estate in the Pondok Indah area, South Jakarta, has become a suspect by the South Jakarta Metro Police. The reasons for the perpetrators seem trivial, noisy.

"Today, we have determined the person concerned as a suspect," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jayam Kombes Pol Endra Zulpan, Tuesday, February 15, as reported by Antara.

The motive for the perpetrator was to get angry like that because when the victim was at work, he was doing a zoom meeting. Apparently the perpetrator was disturbed by the noise from the house renovation work carried out by SES

"The motive behind this case is that the suspect was annoyed and disturbed and uncomfortable with the noise made by the victim at work," he said.

According to the suspect's statement, he had twice reprimanded the victim but was ignored, so RPB finally took his "airsoft gun" to threaten the victim.

SES then reported the incident to the South Jakarta Metro Police which led to the arrest of RPB. However, Zulpan did not explain in detail when he was arrested.

For that incident, RPB was named a suspect under the suspicion of Article 335 of the Criminal Code with a threat of 1 year in prison.
