West Java High Prosecutor's Office Forms Special Team to Handle Woman's Confinement Case

The West Java High Prosecutor’s Office (Kejati) has formed a special team consisting of nine prosecutors to handle the alleged confinement and abuse of a woman with the initials YTR (29), reportedly perpetrated by Taufik Hidayat (30).

Head of Legal Information at the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office, Nur Sricahyawijaya, stated in Bandung on Tuesday that the team was formed after the office received a Notice of Commencement of Investigation (SPDP) from the West Java Regional Police’s General Criminal Investigation Directorate.

‘The SPDP, according to the report, is dated 15 June. The High Prosecutor’s Office immediately appointed nine prosecutors,’ said Cahya.

According to initial investigation results, the suspect allegedly confined and abused the victim from 2024 across four different locations. As a result of these acts, the victim suffered severe injuries to several parts of her body and is still undergoing intensive care at Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) in Bandung.

Meanwhile, West Java Police Chief Inspector General Rudi Setiawan said investigators are still looking into the alleged element of sexual violence by involving an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist. ‘An examination by an ob-gyn doctor has been carried out. However, from the obstetrics and gynaecology side, we have not yet received the results,’ said Rudi.
