Police have detained a perpetrator who bullied a fellow vocational\nschool student in Kutowinangun, Kebumen, Central Java, in an incident\nthat went viral on social media. Investigations revealed that the\nbullying was triggered by the perpetrator\u2019s jealousy towards the victim\nover Instagram chats.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Kebumen Police have carried out investigative steps and examined\nparties related to the incident,\u201d said Kebumen Police Chief AKBP I Putu\nBagus Krisna Purnama, as reported by detikJateng on Monday\n(17\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
The bullying incident occurred on Friday (7\/8) at around 10.00 WIB.\nThe location was behind a private vocational school in Kutowinangun\nDistrict, Kebumen Regency.<\/p>\n
Police subsequently took the suspected perpetrator to the Kebumen\nPolice headquarters on Saturday (15\/8) afternoon for questioning. The\nsuspect, who is still a student and a minor, is still being questioned\nby officers.<\/p>\n
Chairman of the Kebumen Branch Executive Board of Nahdlatul Ulama\n(PCNU), Imam Satibi, spoke about the bullying incident. The private\nvocational school is under the auspices of PCNU Kebumen.<\/p>\n
Imam said that, based on initial information received by the school,\nthe incident stemmed from a dispute between the perpetrator and the\nvictim triggered by jealousy. The assault or bullying occurred during\nthe school lunch break.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe information I received from the school is that initially the\nYear 11 student (the perpetrator) had a girlfriend, and then she broke\nup with him. Because the perpetrator could access his girlfriend\u2019s\nInstagram account, he saw a chat from his junior, who became the victim.\nIn fact, it was just ordinary communication, just \u2018hello-hello\u2019, and\nthen he became jealous,\u201d said Imam.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was during lunchtime, the break. It turned out that such an\nincident occurred and was not monitored. This is part of our negligence,\nso we will improve our SOP and our services,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
The victim has not yet returned to school activities. PCNU, together\nwith the Education Institution and the Kebumen Regency Government, has\nvisited the victim\u2019s family to provide assistance and psychological\nsupport.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/viral-bullying-among-students-in-kebumen-perpetrator-detained-1786949594", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
