The West Java Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A) has revealed that Yuvita Tri Rezeki (29), a victim of abuse by perpetrator TH that resulted in blindness, is now recovering at Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung. The victim will undergo plastic surgery due to facial damage. DP3A West Java Head Siska Gerfianti stated that visitors are being limited to ensure a swift recovery. She said the victim is now able to communicate. ‘She can communicate, but not much, and we hope she gets plenty of rest now to recover her physical and psychological condition,’ she said on Monday (22/6/2026) after visiting the victim at RSHS with West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi. She explained that the victim was initially examined at Ujungberung Hospital before being referred to RSHS Bandung. Police have been visiting the victim since 12 June. Siska said she immediately contacted various parties, including the Jabar Istimewa legal aid team and the West Java Regional Police, to oversee the case, as well as coordinating with Bandung Regency, where the victim resides. She mentioned that the victim will undergo reconstructive plastic surgery due to the damage to her face. However, this will take time and will not be accomplished in just one operation. ‘Before that, there will certainly be recovery processes given her condition, so that when she is ready, the reconstruction can be carried out,’ she said. Regarding the police investigation, she confirmed it is being handled by law enforcement, including the official examination report for the victim.
