Angry Wife Seduced To Be The Reason For Smith Tonjok's Bahar And Online Taxi Driver Persecution

Bahar Smith (BETWEEN)

BANDUNG - Defendant in the case of assault on online taxi driver Bahar Smith revealed the motive for his action. Bahar Smith denied that the persecution was triggered by the late driver Andriansyah to take his wife home.

Bahar admitted that he was angry when his wife admitted that he had been teased by Andriansyah. "So when my wife got out of the car, confessed to me that she was being teased, I finally beat her. The point was that I was beating her," said Bahar Smith during a trial at the Bandung District Court, West Java, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, April 27.

In the trial, Bahar Smith also apologized for his actions. "I am Bahar, sincerely apologize for my mistake when I beat you," he said.

He admitted that he had only met Andriansyah again since the incident of the persecution. The peace process with the victims was only attended by their attorneys. "Before Habib (Bahar) apologized, I have forgiven," said Andriansyah.

The persecution incident against Andriansyah occurred in 2018 ago. At that time, Andriansyah was suspected of being persecuted for taking his wife to pick him up too late as an online taxi driver. After the apology, Bahar asked how Andriansyah felt after knowing him after being persecuted.

Even though he has reached peace, the Chief Justice of the Panel of Judges, Surachmat, said that this does not invalidate a criminal case. "This means that, in fact, legally it does not lead to the annulment of a criminal case," said the Judge.

On another occasion, Andriansyah denied seducing Bahar Smith's wife. "There is no (word of temptation)," said Andriansyah.
