“Lurah of Cipinang Muara, Komarudin stated that two holes were made in the railway barrier wall, suspected to have been deliberately breached to facilitate movement to Jalan I Gusti Ngurah Rai, where the riot occurred.

Although the riot has ended, remnants remain near Klender Station, with joint police, TNI, and Satpol PP units still on guard. Resident Agus (not his real name) reported that the conflict started when fireworks were set off from the Kampung Jagal side, triggering the riot.
