JAKARTA - Sedi, a woman, is suspected of being a victim of detention by an online taxi driver on the Jakarta-Tangerang Toll Road, last Monday, March 25. The victim was forced by the driver to transfer Rp100 million.

The victim's attorney, Wilhelmus Rio Resandhi, explained that the incident began when the victim ordered an online taxi from Neo Soho, Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta to his place of residence.

"The reporter as usual ensures that the police number is in accordance with the application," Rio said in his statement, Thursday, March 28.

After the victim got into the online taxi car, suspicion emerged. The victim felt the trip was not in accordance with the application.

"Suddenly there was a suspicion, why the car entered the toll road. And it turned out that the driver's partner did not press the pick-up button in the application," he said.

"When he entered the toll road, he was asked, the driver's partner said that he only followed the maps (maps) and from there the reporter just checked the application and it turned out that the driver's partner did not press the pick-up button," he continued.

Long story short, on the way, the online taxi driver complained of shortness of breath and asked the victim to replace him in driving his vehicle. The victim also refused the request.

"Then, the driver's partner suddenly asked the reporter (victim) for a transfer of Rp. 100 million, here he only asked for a transfer and had not been threatened, because the driver's partner asked for a transfer and then the victim forced him to get out of the car," he said.

After the car was stopped, the victim immediately fled out of the car. But the perpetrator did not remain silent, he chased the victim and returned to arrest him.

' Chasing the victim then pulling, smothering, carrying, and slamming the reporter back into the car. After previously screaming for help from local road users,' he said.

There is still debate and a tug of war between the driver and the victim's partner. The perpetrator then took the victim's bag.

"But the victim managed to reclaim the bag containing the laptop, the iPhone was not (taken away by the perpetrator)," he said.

In short, the passengers continued to rebel and there was someone on the edge of the toll road who knew. The victim jumped from the edge of the toll road which was high enough to suffer injuries, while the online taxi driver managed to escape with the passenger's cellphone.
