Jewellery Shop Owner Reported to Police Following Destruction of Businessman's South Jakarta Home
A businessman named Abdul Malik (50) has reported a female jewellery shop owner with the initials YM, who operates in an upscale shopping centre, to the South Jakarta Metropolitan Police. The report stems from an alleged assault and vandalism at Abdul Malik’s residence in the Mampang Prapatan area of South Jakarta, which also involved a male friend of YM’s who is a foreign national.
The report was registered under number LP/B/707/II/2026/SPKT/POLRES METRO JAKSEL/POLDA METRO JAYA, dated 19 February 2026, concerning alleged unpleasant conduct under Article 448 of Law No. 1 of 2023. In addition to the police report, Abdul Malik also reported the foreign national to the Immigration authorities on suspicion of vandalism and making threats. The immigration report was registered under number WSDK/LK/II/2026.
Speaking to journalists, Abdul Malik recounted that the incident occurred on Thursday (19 February 2026) at approximately 10pm Western Indonesian Time. Events began when YM arrived at his home claiming she wished to meet his wife, identified as A.
A house guard initially held YM at the entrance, but she claimed to have a prior appointment and forced her way inside. The situation escalated as YM reportedly began shouting upon encountering A. Tensions peaked when YM’s foreign national companion stepped out of a vehicle and barged into the house despite being restrained by the guard.
It was at this point, Abdul Malik said, that the vandalism occurred. He stated that the foreign national went on a rampage and destroyed items in his home. According to Abdul Malik’s account, the foreign national continued to struggle violently, knocking over an ashtray, hurling a chair, and smashing glasses.
Beyond the property damage, Abdul Malik alleged that the foreign national also made verbal threats. “I’ll kill you first,” was the threatening statement also recorded in Abdul Malik’s police report.
Feeling threatened and aggrieved, he ultimately decided to pursue legal action through both the police and Immigration authorities.
YM was contacted regarding Abdul Malik’s report. She answered several questions from journalists but declined to be quoted. Abdul Malik also showed journalists CCTV footage of YM arriving at his home.
When contacted separately for confirmation, South Jakarta Metropolitan Police Criminal Investigation Unit Chief Senior Commissioner Iskandarsyah confirmed the existence of the report. He said investigators were conducting a preliminary inquiry.
“The report was only received by investigators yesterday. It is still under investigation,” Iskandarsyah said when asked for confirmation on Saturday (21 February 2026).
Iskandarsyah added that police would summon both parties to thoroughly investigate the case and establish the true facts of the matter. “Based on the account given, we also need to obtain confirmation from the reported party,” he said.
