JAKARTA — PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI) has apprehended an alleged perpetrator of sexual harassment on the Commuter Line following a viral incident on social media.

The report was subsequently pursued through investigation utilising the CCTV Analytic system according to the physical description provided by the victim.

Arlan stated that the security system subsequently issued a notification when the alleged perpetrator re-entered the station area and boarded the Commuter Line on Friday, 27 February 2026.

“The relevant staff immediately coordinated in the field to apprehend the perpetrator and transport him to Bojonggede Station for initial examination,” he said.

Following examination and presenting the victim, KAI Commuter accompanied the victim in reporting the case and handing over the perpetrator to Depok Police for further legal proceedings.

Leza affirmed that KAI Commuter would provide support to the victim, including legal and psychological assistance.

Previously, a female passenger on the electric train (KRL) Commuter Line Jakarta Kota-Bogor was reported to have become a victim of sexual harassment. In a video circulating on social media, the woman stated to transit staff that she had just experienced harassment whilst aboard the KRL.

The woman recounted that she initially boarded the Commuter Line from Manggarai Station with Bogor as her destination. Whilst inside the train car, a man allegedly rubbed his genitals against her body from behind.

“He (the perpetrator) said, ‘Ma’am, I rubbed it against you just now. Are you angry with me?’. That’s what he said to me,” the woman stated in the circulating video.
