Bogor Karaoke Venue Sealed for Lacking Permit

Bogor Regency’s Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) raided nightlife venues and herbal medicine shops in Cibungbulang district. Officers sealed a karaoke venue because it did not have the required permit.

The raid was held on Sunday (1 November), from about 9pm until the early hours of the following day. Three locations were inspected.

“The first was a building used as a karaoke venue and café that did not have Building Approval (PBG),” Yogi Tritugastyo, head of the Satpol PP’s Enforcement Division, said in a written statement on Monday (2 November 2026).

He said the karaoke venue had five rooms, each with a capacity of five to six people. Officers then temporarily suspended its operations.

“An enforcement action was taken by placing an Investigating Civil Servant (PPNS) line and a temporary cessation-of-activities notice on the karaoke rooms, as well as a monitoring sticker on the café building,” he said.

“Following the inspection, Satpol PP seized 59 bottles of liquor that did not have the required permit,” he added.

Satpol PP officers also raided herbal medicine shops, where they found dozens of bottles of illegal liquor. Yogi said the business owners had been questioned.

“At the third herbal medicine shop, the owner could not produce the licensing documents. A search was then carried out, and 30 bottles of unlicensed alcoholic drinks of various types and categories were found,” he said.
