The incident occurred on 14 December 2025, when a 21-year-old victim and her partner were approached at an ATM inside Pondok Gede Mall.

“Three men claimed they were police officers and accused the victim of illegal transactions before forcing them into a car,” said Metro Jaya Police Head of Public Relations Senior Superintendent Budi Hermanto, as quoted by antaranews.com
