Authorities in Central Jakarta are investigating an incident involving a Toyota Alphard driver who allegedly ran a red light and later presented an identification card during a mediation with a security guard. The confrontation occurred in front of the Hotel Pullman in Central Jakarta.

Yes, we are still investigating because the person concerned could not specifically, not yet specifically explain what ID card it was from where, still couldn't explain.

Police are examining the ID card shown by the Alphard driver to a security guard named Victor Harefa at the Thamrin police post. The driver has reportedly been unable to clearly explain the origin or type of the card. Police are also seeking clarification from officers on duty during the mediation to determine if the security guard experienced any intimidation or violence, though initial reports suggest the mediation concluded peacefully.

The incident began when the Alphard reportedly drove through a red light at a pelican crossing, despite pedestrians attempting to cross. The security guard, Victor Harefa, reportedly tapped on the car window to address the violation, which led to a verbal altercation. Both parties then agreed to mediate at the police post.

Yes, clarification was requested, along with clarification of what it was like. Because there was already a mediation process, then one party felt uncomfortable, or displeased.

Further complicating the matter, the Alphard's license plate, D 1828 XHQ, is reportedly registered to a silver Daihatsu, not a black Toyota Alphard. Police are also investigating this discrepancy and plan to summon the Alphard's driver for questioning regarding the use of the potentially mismatched license plate.

We want to clarify, we invite them, what is the story, the problem. And we will definitely resolve it completely.
