Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro revealed that his party had arrested five perpetrators of the beating of Satpol PP officers in front of Plaza Indonesia mall, Central Jakarta.

"Five perpetrators were arrested yesterday," said Kombes Susatyo to reporters, Wednesday, January 3.

The police chief said that his party would convey it in an official release later which would be held.

Meanwhile, the Menteng Metro Police Chief, Kompol Bayu Marfiando, is still investigating the case. Are there any other indications of the abuse.

"The incident began when one of the victims was about to intervene with a colleague, a fellow Satpol PP officer named Sastra Suhendi, when he was slapped by a man named Sony," said Kompol Bayu when confirmed, Wednesday, January 3.

However, the man named Sony got emotional when asked by the victim about the reason why he slapped Suhendi.

"Then the person suspected of being Sony got more and more emotional and suddenly Sony's friends who were near the crime scene immediately beat the victim," he said.

Previously, it was reported that two Central Jakarta Satpol PP officers were beaten by a group of alleged Tanah Abang thugs who took place in front of Plaza Indonesia, Central Jakarta, last Sunday, December 31. The incident was recorded by an amateur camera and suddenly went viral on social media.

Based on a 10-second video circulating on social media, two people in uniform were seen being pushed and beaten by a group of people suspected of being Tanah Abang thugs.

According to one of the Instagram account posts, the incident began when the IKBT sterilized pedestrian evacuation routes for New Year's Eve from traders trading on the sidewalk. The Satpol PP personnel allegedly even allowed trade traders on the evacuation route.

"There was a verbal altercation.. they arrogantly attacked the regional child. Pay attention to the initial video. The regional child said 'what are you, are you' because they feel pushed and beaten. IKBT members are neutral in separating," wrote the account, Tuesday, January 2.

"Maybe if the Satpol PP officers align upright for the sterile evacuation area from traders, I don't think there will be a fuss," quoted from @chibob sabor.
