Central Jakarta Metro Police revealed the results of a DNA test on suspicion of a baby being swapped at the Cempaka Putih Islamic Hospital (RSIJ) on Tuesday, December 24, 2024, morning.

The disclosure was made after a DNA test was carried out on the baby's body at the Forensic Installation of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital some time ago.

Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Central Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Muhammad Firdaus, said that there had been a conclusion based on the results of the analysis of samples of all DNA from the National Police Pusdokes.

"The baby Mr X has been tested for DNA. From the results of the lab conducted by the National Police Hospital Health Center, genetically Mr X's baby is a biological child of the Rauf and Feni couple," said AKBP Firdaus to reporters, Tuesday, December 24.

Although the identity of the baby has been revealed, the Central Jakarta Metro Police cannot explain the cause of the death of the allegedly swapped baby at the Cempaka Putih Hospital.

"With humanitarian reasons as well as in the context of the investigation, we carried out an exhumation to provide certainty of the status of the child," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro.
