Police Find No Orders from Superiors in Padel Store Employee Abduction Case

Police in South Jakarta have identified four suspects in the alleged kidnapping and assault of a padel store employee, stating the individuals acted on their own initiative. Investigators found no evidence that the store's management or superiors ordered the attack.

“

While still investigating, but based on the evidence we have obtained, only those four perpetrators were involved in the assault and kidnapping.

The suspects, identified as ASB, RRK, AH, and DW, are accused of forming a private chat group to interrogate the victim, Abdul Latif, about suspected stolen rackets. Latif, who had been employed at the Pedal Padel store for two months, was allegedly held captive from June 22, 2026. His mother reported him missing on June 24, prompting a police investigation.

“

We have not found any orders from superiors. They are just employees, all four of them.

Investigators have completed their crime scene examination at the Pedal Padel store in Kebayoran Lama. Police collected evidence, including blood samples and tools believed to have been used in the alleged assault and confinement. The victim was reportedly held in two locations: a service elevator in the parking area and a warehouse adjacent to it. The police have since removed the crime scene tape from the store.
