Couple Caught Having Sex in Ride-Hailing Taxi Identified, Will Be Summoned by Police

Jakarta - Police have revealed developments in the investigation of an alleged indecent act committed by a couple inside a ride-hailing taxi in the Cipulir area, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. The identity of the ride-hailing taxi passenger who placed the booking has been obtained by police.

“We have already obtained the identity of the person who booked the ride-hailing taxi,” Kebayoran Lama Police Chief Kompol Muhammad Kukuh Islami said when contacted on Sunday (15/2/2026).

Kukuh said his team will summon the couple to clarify the alleged indecent act. The police are still conducting their investigation.

“We will carry out an examination going forward. The investigation is still ongoing. We have already taken a statement from the ride-hailing taxi driver. We are still investigating,” he said.

Driver’s Account of Confronting the Couple

A video of the alleged indecent act also went viral on social media. The driver, identified by the initials AR, recounted the moment he first became suspicious of the alleged indecent behavior of his two passengers.

He said he had accepted a booking from Central Jakarta to South Jakarta. Midway through the trip, AR became suspicious because the female passenger kept lying down and resting her head on the male passenger’s lap.

To confirm his suspicions, AR tried adjusting the rearview mirror in the center of his car and claims he saw the indecent act being committed by the two.

“I started tilting the center mirror down. Once I tilted it down, that’s when I started confronting them,” AR told reporters on Thursday (12/2).

AR said both passengers initially ignored his warning. They remained in their original position. However, after he began reprimanding them in a raised voice, the female passenger started to sit up. He said he noticed both of their clothes were in disarray.

“I saw the girl’s clothes were disheveled. The guy’s pants were also not in order,” he said.

AR also said he did not want to act rashly at the time by immediately asking both passengers to get out. He explained that doing so would have affected the booking rating on his account.

He also shared his reason for uploading the video of the alleged indecent act. He said he simply wanted to educate ride-hailing passengers to treat each other with respect and decency.
