Blocked by Costs, Alleged Police Brutality Victim's Condition Worsens After Treatment Halted

A woman with the initial M (30) is an alleged victim of violence perpetrated by an active police officer in Central Java. The case has drawn public attention because the victim endured prolonged torture during an unregistered marriage with the reported individual. Accompanied by the Hotman 911 team, M reported the case to the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Division (Bareskrim Polri) on Thursday, 2 July 2026, with report number LP/B/295/VII/2026/SPKT/BARESKRIM POLRI. The victim suffered multiple acts of violence and abuse resulting in burns covering up to 47 percent of her body, predominantly on the left side. The victim’s legal counsel, Raden Reza Pramadia, revealed that her condition has not improved. M was hindered by the cost of treatment, forcing her to perform self-care using bandages and ointment. “I am still at the hospital now. Her condition has not improved; in fact, I would say it has worsened. Since she last left the hospital due to a lack of funds, her care has only consisted of changing bandages and applying ointment,” Raden Reza Pramadia stated on the Apa Kabar Indonesia Malam programme on tvOne, Sunday, 5 July 2026. “I also heard a few days ago that maggots were emerging from her hand,” he continued. The wounds suffered by the victim remain wet, as if they had just occurred, requiring her bandages to be changed almost daily. “Physically, what I see is that she has not yet healed. Because the wounds are still wet. So every two or three days, the bandages must be changed,” he said. “The bandages cover from the upper arm, the back, down to the legs on half of the body. Because the victim suffered burns of around 47 percent,” he added. The burns sustained by M cannot be fully covered by the national health insurance (BPJS) because she is a victim of assault. Consequently, M opted for self-care at home as she was blocked by costs. “The victim should actually still be hospitalised. However, because not everything can be covered by BPJS, the victim chose to undergo independent treatment at home,” Raden explained. To date, the victim’s condition has not improved. Raden even noted that his team transported the victim to report the incident using an ambulance.
