According to his family, the victim allegedly jumped\ninto the river whilst trying to evade a group of unidentified people.\nThe victim\u2019s brother, Syaiful Bahri, said that his sibling was hanging\nout with two friends on the embankment. At around 11.30 p.m. Western\nIndonesia Time, they were approached by a group of unknown individuals.\n\u201cSuddenly, there were these people, five of them, who looked like debt\ncollectors. They tried to grab them,\u201d Syaiful said at the scene on\nThursday. Based on the information Syaiful received, his brother and his\nfriends tried to run away from the unidentified pursuers. Whilst his\nfriends fled towards the road, his panicked brother chose to run towards\nthe river and jumped in. According to Syaiful, his brother, who worked\nas a warehouse labourer, had never been in trouble before. Syaiful also\ndid not know the reason his brother was being chased. \u201cAs far as I know,\nI often communicate with his friends, and they always said he was fine\nand had no problems,\u201d Syaiful added. Syaiful said that his brother\u2019s\nfriends, who managed to escape, were later questioned by local officials\nabout what had actually happened. During the interrogation, they\ninsisted there was no indication of any reason for the victim to be\nchased by the unknown group. \u201cThey were just hanging out, there was no\nindication of anything. There was nothing, then suddenly these five\npeople surrounded my brother and his friends,\u201d he said. The victim\u2019s\nfriend, Davi, explained that on that night, the unknown group suddenly\napproached the victim who was hanging out. \u201cHe was with his friends at\nthe time. His friends ran downwards, but Ahmad ran towards the river,\u201d\nDavi explained. Davi said the unknown group arrived on motorbikes and\nwere not seen carrying sharp weapons or any other arms. \u201cThe victim\nmanaged to swim for a bit, around midnight. When I looked towards the\nmiddle of the river, he was waving his hands and was already gasping for\nair,\u201d Davi explained. Meanwhile, the Head of Operations for the West\nJakarta Fire and Rescue Sub-department, Syaiful Kahfi, stated that the\nsearch process was still being carried out by Regional Disaster\nManagement Agency officers by combing the river. \u201cAs of now, the\nindividual has not been found,\u201d he said.
