Netizens Storm Social Media Account Allegedly Belonging to Confinement Perpetrator, Catch Him Cleaning Up Comments

A man named Taufik Hidayat is suspected of being the perpetrator in the confinement and torture case of a woman with the initials YTR (29). The perpetrator, who is the victim’s boyfriend, is still being sought by police. The victim is a woman from Rancaekek, Bandung Regency, West Java, who had been declared missing for the past three years. The family admitted they were shocked when they found YTR at Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) in Bandung due to her deplorable condition. YTR was found in a rented room in the Cileunyi area, Bandung Regency, West Java, in critical condition and covered with serious wounds all over her body. The victim’s condition has drawn public attention to the case, with netizens on social media searching for the suspected perpetrator’s account. A TikTok account, @dudajelek351, was stormed by netizens as it is believed to belong to Taufik Hidayat, the perpetrator of the confinement and torture of YTR. This account was also shared by prominent lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea on his social media post. Hotman Paris stated that the TikTok account belongs to the suspected perpetrator, whose face has been edited using AI. It is no wonder netizens are questioning the real identity of the account owner, as the photos posted on the account are very different from the circulated photos of the perpetrator. The last post on the @dudajelek351 account was uploaded six days ago, and this post has immediately been viewed by 1 million TikTok users. Not only that, the post has also received 2,215 likes and 3,774 comments from netizens. However, a number of netizens claim their previous comments were deleted by the account owner. This indicates the account owner is still active on social media. “He is active, woyy,” said one netizen. Meanwhile, a previous post had received 12,900 likes and 2,933 comments from netizens at the time this information was compiled. In that photo post, the account owner wrote a sentence in Sundanese about looking for a woman.
