The group was about to be vaccinated at the Sheraton Media Hotel Jalan Gunung Sahari, Sawah Besar.

Chairman of the Jakarta Citizens Forum (FAKTA) Azas Tigor Nainggolan said the group was blackmailed by two Dishub officers who intercepted the group.

"The two Jakarta Transportation Agency officers named S. Gunawan and Heryanto insisted on asking for Rp. 500,000. If the driver did not give the Rp. 500,000 to the officers, the bus would be towed (towed) by the Jakarta Transportation Agency," said Tigor.

The results of BAP Dishub stated that the person who carried out the extortion was SG. Meanwhile, S was not directly involved but also received the extorted money from SG.
