Dudung says Prabowo orders confinement case to be processed according to law

Presidential Chief of Staff General (Ret.) Dudung Abdurachman has said President Prabowo Subianto is paying close attention to the case of confinement and violence against YTR in Bandung Regency and has requested that the handling be carried out in accordance with the applicable law. “His message is that it should be processed according to the applicable law, and he cares deeply about this incident,” said Dudung after visiting the victim at Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung on Thursday. Dudung assessed that the actions of the suspect, Taufik Hidayat, had exceeded the limits of humanity. According to him, the victim’s current condition demonstrates the severity of the suffering endured during the confinement. “Personally, frankly, seeing his condition earlier, this is beyond the limits of humanity, so he deserves the heaviest possible punishment,” he stated. In addition, Dudung urged the public to be more aware of their surroundings and to immediately report any suspicious matters to the authorities to prevent similar incidents from recurring. “If you see something suspicious or odd, report it immediately to the relevant authorities so that things do not happen beyond supervision,” he said. Previously, Taufik Hidayat was named a suspect in the case of confinement and abuse against YTR, which allegedly lasted for about three years in a boarding house in the Cileunyi area, Bandung Regency. As a result of the incident, the victim suffered a number of severe injuries affecting his physical condition, including visual impairment, difficulty speaking, and an inability to walk normally.
