However, the incident was only reported to the police the following day, Monday, (3/6). The incident of bullying against the victim also went viral on Instagram social media because the video was uploaded by the accounts @Depokhariini and @Depok24jam.
“So we first learned about the case from social media. There is a video (containing) of a woman being beaten. Well, it turns out that after we looked into it, there was a chat via WA for the victim to come,” said Kapolres Metro Depok, Kombes Pol Arya Perdana to reporters, Thursday, (5/6).
Kapolres Arya explained, that the motive for the bullying was allegedly a condition for the victim to become a ‘little brother’ of the perpetrators in their version of the gang. But the victim didn’t want to respond to these conditions.
The victim, who was the perpetrator’s neighbor, then played in the garden where the bullying occurred. The bullying occurred in the afternoon at around 16:15 WIB. The victim was pulled and beaten until he fell to the ground.
“There are two perpetrators who have been arrested. The three are the same ones who made the video. We are currently in the process of being investigated,” said Kapolres Arya again. (Bembo)
