JAKARTA - A video has circulated showing a woman entering the DKI Jakarta City Hall building, carrying a bag filled with gasoline put in a mineral bottle.

Head of the DKI General Bureau, Awaluddin, confirmed the parties in the video. Awaluddin said that the incident happened on Tuesday, October 27 afternoon.

Initially, Awaluddin explained that a woman had entered the Blok G building of the DKI City Hall and said she was going to the 12th floor, which is the DKI Economic Bureau room. The mother's bag was checked using an x-ray machine, but no gasoline was detected.

"Around 12.10 WIB Tuesday afternoon, the mother went to the Blok G building first. After that, the mother's bag passed through the x-ray machine. Now, in the x-ray it looks like only liquid in a bottle, we think it's mineral water. Then, she went up to the 12th floor, "Awaluddin said when he was confirmed, Wednesday, October 28.

Arriving on the 12th floor, this mother forced the Internal Security (Pamdal) on duty to meet with the Head of the Economic Bureau. The mother's gesture began to be suspected. Finally, the officers called for assistance from the TNI and Polri.

"When the officers arrived, the mother finally shouted, 'I'm going to burn the building.' She shouted like that. Finally, we searched her bag. In fact, the bag contained gasoline and cardboard in it. We'll secure the petrol," said Awaluddin.

Even though they were caught carrying gasoline, security officers at the City Hall released the mother. This is because officers suspect that the mother has mental disorders.

This can be seen from the letter he brought to the Economic Bureau. Awaluddin said, the sentence structure language in the letter was strange and incomprehensible.

"From the letter alone, it is strange. He stated that he represented the police, then wanted to ask for money from Bank DKI because he claimed to have money at Bank DKI, like that. So, the language was awful," said Awaluddin.

However, after he was discharged, the mother who was suspected of having a mental disorder reported one of the TNI members who had secured her to the POM Kodam Jaya.

"The mother turned out to report one of the TNI, (at first) we thought that finally the POM people came, finally I explained the chronology of everything to the POM," he said.
