JAKARTA - An internship journalist for Kontext.co.id, Qur'aini Hamidea Suci is suspected of being a victim of harassment by an unknown man on the Electric Rail Train (KRL), Tuesday, July 16.

Suci said the incident occurred on the evening of Tuesday, July 16. The incident began when he boarded the Jakarta-Bogor KRL.

Told Holy, on the way there was a man who was making a video of himself. It was also discovered when KRL officers informed him.

It turned out that when the train was traveling from Manggarai Station to Cikini, a KAI officer who had finished his job stood up and told me, "Mbak, it was videoed by this old man", pointing to a middle-aged man, "Scici's story, Thursday, July 18.

"After checking, it turns out that there is indeed my video. Not just one video, but 7 (seven) videos with a duration range of 3-7 minutes," he continued.

On that basis, the perpetrator was secured by officers. Then the victim plans to report the incident to the police.

The family, assisted by security at the Jakarta City Station, processed it to the Taman Sari Police. The Taman Sari Police responded well, but indeed in a judicial manner this case cannot be processed considering the location of the arrest of the perpetrator was around Manggarai Station. The Taman Sari Police suggested that we go to the Menteng Police Station," he said.

Furthermore, the victim and the KRL officers went to the Menteng Police. However, his report was rejected again, he was advised to the Tebet Police.

Arriving at the Tebet Police, said Suci, he heard the answer of the SPKT officer which was not pleasant. The reason is, he was again rejected by the report by officers at the Tebet Police.

"His mother was videoed because she was beautiful again. Maybe her father was fetish, inspired by a Japanese video. His father is a fan of his sister, Ms. Idol," said Tebet Police officer.

"What's the connection? Then what is the protection of the police against me, the woman who is the victim of harassment?" asked the victim.

At the end of the conversation, the officer said "there's nothing we can do".

Then he was again advised to the South Jakarta Metro Police, to make a police report.

Arriving at the location, he was again rejected by his report. At that time, a female police officer was met at the South Jakarta Metro Police.

"This case cannot be prosecuted because it must comply with the provisions, it must look like a vital or sensitive tool, and the student is forcibly videoed," said Polwan at the South Jakarta Metro Police.

"Because, said the policewoman again, from the video evidence on the perpetrator's cellphone, we did not find that this was an act of harassment, and for unpleasant actions it was no longer in Article 335".

"The unpleasant action was due to coercion from the perpetrators," he continued.

On that basis, the victim chose to return home because he felt his report was rejected.
