He explained that the defendant was charged with Article 378 of the Criminal Code regarding fraud. This case began when the defendant was reported by his future father-in-law, Jatingan Sihotang (59) in May 2021.

At that time, the defendant lost contact and could not be contacted after receiving sinamot money of Rp7.7 million. This case was reported to the Police and finally arrested in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan on 2 December 2021.

At that time, the defendant managed to convince the victim, who was none other than his future father-in-law, to pay the sinamot money by transfer.

Including considering the condition of the victim who feels ashamed to be left behind by custom, there is delivery between families, but the marriage is canceled. Including the condition of the female defendant," he said. .
