Residents of Garut Regency were shocked by the reckless actions of a\nlocal thug named Tio, also known as Tito Kobra. The man was captured on\ncamera threatening to murder Pakenjeng Police Chief Iptu Muslih Hidayat\nafter refusing to accept a reprimand for consuming alcohol during\ndaylight hours in Ramadan, a practice colloquially referred to as\n\u201cmokel\u201d.<\/p>\n
The heroic actions of Pakenjeng Police Chief, who attempted to subdue\nthe perpetrator, were recorded in a video lasting 4 minutes and 12\nseconds that has since gone viral on social media. In the video, Iptu\nMuslih Hidayat, still wearing his full police uniform, engages in heated\nargument before physical contact ensues to apprehend the\nperpetrator.<\/p>\n
Pakenjeng Police Chief Iptu Muslih Hidayat explained that the\nincident was a consequence of enforcement actions carried out several\ndays earlier. At that time, police were conducting patrols following\nRamadan Safari activities near the area of the Pakenjeng Mini\nHydroelectric Power Plant (PLTM).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe became suspicious upon passing by when we noticed numerous\nmotorcycles parked without owners at the location. Upon inspection,\nseveral youths in the area below were consuming alcohol during daylight\nhours,\u201d said Muslih on Sunday, 15 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Although the eight youths had previously been given guidance through\npunishment in the form of push-ups and registration, Tito Kobra\napparently harboured resentment. He visited the police chief suddenly\nwhilst the officer was sharing breaking-fast meals with a youth\ncommunity in Pakenjeng.<\/p>\n
The perpetrator admitted feeling humiliated by the actions of the\nauthorities during the raid. \u201cDuring the meeting, Tito expressed his\nobjections and claimed to feel humiliated. We attempted to explain that\nsuch actions are part of police duties in maintaining public order in\naccordance with directives from Forkopimda and the Indonesian Ulema\nCouncil (MUI),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The situation escalated when the perpetrator refused to accept the\nofficer\u2019s explanation. Tito began using foul language and hurling death\nthreats against the Police Chief, the District Head, and other police\nofficers. A fight ensued for several minutes before the thug was finally\nsubdued by officers with assistance from residents.<\/p>\n
After being apprehended, officers discovered a small machete that the\nperpetrator was carrying. Based on preliminary investigation results,\nTito Kobra is strongly suspected to have been under the influence of\nillegal drugs when committing the act, something that has frequently\ncaused distress to residents of Pakenjeng District.<\/p>\n
Despite receiving serious threats, Iptu Muslih Hidayat made the\ndecision not to pursue the case through formal legal channels. He stated\nthat he preferred to conduct intensive rehabilitation with the\nperpetrator to prevent him from repeating actions that could endanger\npublic order.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/viral-video-thug-tito-kobra-from-pakenjeng-garut-threatens-to-kill-police-chief-after-reprimand-for-drinking-1773597253", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
