JAKARTA - The DKI Provincial Government has been asked to immediately increase the number of surveillance cameras (CCTV) related to the proliferation of child kidnapping cases in the Gunung Sahari area, Central Jakarta.

"We must strive for Jakarta to become a city that is safe from crime. Even if there is an incident, we want it to be revealed quickly. In this case, the DKI Provincial Government can take part by increasing the number of CCTV points," said Deputy Chairman of Commission E of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Anggara Wicitra Sastroamidjojo in his statement, Thursday, January 5.

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government also has a hand in preventing criminal acts. This is because in the kidnapping case, the six-year-old child was declared missing since December 7, 2022, or almost a month has only been revealed.

Anggara said the existence of CCTV could also be an effort to prevent crime.

"In addition to helping law enforcement carry out their duties, if there is a lot of CCTV, the perpetrators will also think twice when they want to commit crimes," he said.

In addition to kidnapping cases, the addition of CCTV points for other criminal cases that are rampant in Jakarta can also be reduced.

"Cases that are rampant, such as brawls, drugs, thefts and so on, we can also try to reduce them. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government can coordinate with the local police to determine the point of installation," said Anggara, quoted from Antara.

Previously, the Head of the Central Jakarta Metro Police, Kombes Komarudin, said that the Supreme Court was kidnapped by the suspect Iwan Sumarno alias airing alias Herman alias Yudi on December 7, 2022.

The victim's parents then reported the incident to the authorities who immediately searched for the victim.

The kidnapping case also went viral on social media, because the perpetrator of the kidnapping was caught on surveillance cameras (CCTV) kidnapping the victim named Malika using a bajaj.

Malika managed to find personnel from the Central Jakarta Metro Police Satreskrim in the Cipadu Market area, Tangerang Kota on January 2, 2023 night.

The victim was then immediately taken to the Kramat Jati Police Hospital for a medical examination after being kidnapped for one month.

The officer also carried out a post-mortem on the victim and the results stated that the victim did not experience sexual violence, but experienced several acts of physical violence from the perpetrator of the kidnapping.
