Three employees at Petrol Station (SPBU) 3413901 in Cipinang,\nPulogadung, East Jakarta, were allegedly assaulted by a man claiming to\nbe a security apparatus member after they refused to fill his vehicle\nwith subsidised Pertalite fuel.<\/p>\n
The assault occurred on Sunday evening (22 February) at approximately\n22:00 local time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s correct, three of our employees were allegedly assaulted by a\nsuspected member of the security apparatus,\u201d said Mukhlisin (38), a\nstaff member at SPBU 3413901, when met at the petrol station on\nMonday.<\/p>\n
Mukhlisin explained that the assault began when a customer arrived to\nfill up with Pertalite. During the barcode scanning process, the\nvehicle\u2019s registration number matched the system records, but the type\nof vehicle being used did not correspond with the registered data.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe customer wanted Pertalite. The barcode number matched, but the\nvehicle didn\u2019t match the registered details. The rule at the petrol\nstation is that the registration number and vehicle must match the\ndata,\u201d Mukhlisin explained.<\/p>\n
In accordance with standard operating procedures, the attendant\nrefused to dispense Pertalite and offered an alternative solution. The\ncustomer was directed to fill up with Pertamax instead, which does not\nuse the barcode system.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the barcode doesn\u2019t match, we direct them to Pertamax. Since\nPertamax doesn\u2019t use a barcode, we can still serve them. For Pertalite,\nthe data must match,\u201d said Mukhlisin.<\/p>\n
The refusal triggered the customer\u2019s anger, leading to an incident\nthat culminated in the alleged assault of three petrol station\nemployees.<\/p>\n
Three victims<\/strong><\/p>\n Mukhlisin identified three victims in the incident: one staff member\nand two operators.<\/p>\n They were Ahmad Khoirul Anam, who had worked approximately five years\nas a staff member; Lukmanul Hakim, an operator who had only been working\nfor six months after graduating from vocational school; and Abud\nMahmudin, an operator with around four years\u2019 service.<\/p>\n \u201cKhoirul Anam was slapped on the cheek. Lukman was punched on the\nright side of his jaw. Meanwhile, Abud was punched below the eye and on\nthe cheek near his mouth until his teeth became loose,\u201d said\nMukhlisin.<\/p>\n At the time of the incident, one operator was on duty, one staff\nmember was present at the location, and another operator who had already\nfinished his shift came outside because of the commotion.<\/p>\n As a result of the incident, all three suffered shock. Although they\nwere not hospitalised, the victims were temporarily given a day off and\nreplaced by other staff.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are currently in shock, but are resting at their respective\nhomes,\u201d said Mukhlisin.<\/p>\n One of the victims also claimed the perpetrator threatened to kill\nhim.<\/p>\n The incident went viral on social media via the Instagram account\n@nestagram<\/span>. CCTV\nfootage showed a man dressed in black punching, slapping, and pushing\nthe petrol station employees. The man was also seen shouting at and\npointing at the employees who had refused the Pertalite filling.<\/p>\n Mukhlisin said the three assaulted employees had formally reported\nthe violence to the police.<\/p>\n Shortly after the report was filed, the Internal Affairs Division\n(Propam) of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police visited the location to\ngather information.<\/p>\n \u201cPropam of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police came here earlier at\naround 16:00 local time to request information regarding the CCTV\nfootage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n According to Mukhlisin, the police response was swift. After the\nreport was received, the victims were immediately directed to undergo\nforensic medical examinations at the Police Hospital in Kramat Jati.<\/p>\n \u201cThe response was good and immediate. They went straight for forensic\nexaminations at the Police Hospital in Kramat Jati and the case was\nprocessed immediately,\u201d said Mukhlisin.<\/p>\n In addition, the Jakarta Metropolitan Police\u2019s Internal Affairs\nDivision also visited the petrol station directly to follow up on the\ninformation and video circulating on social media.<\/p>\n Contacted separately, the owner of SPBU 3413901, Ernesta, said she\nhad directly reported the assault on her employees to the Pulogadung\nPolice Station.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have also reported it to the Pulogadung Police Station across\nfrom the petrol station. My injured employees have also undergone\nforensic medical examinations,\u201d said Ernesta when contacted\nseparately.<\/p>",
