Two students who are victims of an alleged arson attack at a pesantren in Central Lombok were prevented from flying to Jakarta to appear on a popular podcast. The students were stopped at Lombok International Airport on Tuesday, thwarting their planned trip to discuss their ordeal on the 'Podcast Densu' hosted by Denny Sumargo.
The incident occurred as the students were preparing to depart for the capital. Authorities intercepted them at the airport, preventing their flight. The specific reasons for the interception were not immediately clear, but it halted their journey to share their experiences on the widely followed podcast.
The alleged arson attack reportedly took place at a pesantren in Central Lombok.

The cancellation of their trip means their story will not be heard on the popular show for now.
