A student from the Islamic University of Bandung (Unisba), identified as Maimanati Mutmainnah, 24, has been reported missing. She was last seen on Saturday, July 11, 2026, when she left her home in Kampung Tenjolaya, Cicalengka, Bandung, with the stated intention of attending a wedding and meeting friends in Garut.

Yes, she left home asking for permission to play, to go to Garut, then to a friend's wedding and to hang out.

โ€” FitriMaimanati's sister explaining the circumstances under which the student left home.

Her sister, Fitri, confirmed that the family granted permission for the trip, as Maimanati was scheduled to stay with friends known to the family in Garut. Maimanati reportedly traveled from Cicalengka station to Kiaracondong station, and then intended to take a train to Garut Regency.

However, the family suspects she may not have reached her destination. A discrepancy was noted with her train ticket data, which reportedly contained incorrect information, possibly related to her mother's details instead of her own. Attempts to contact her friends have yielded no information about her whereabouts.

She didn't reach Garut, because the ticket data was entered incorrectly, it was mama's data that was entered, not hers.

โ€” FitriMaimanati's sister expressing the family's suspicion about the train journey.

Further complicating the search, Maimanati's mobile phone is currently inactive. The family had a brief communication on Monday, July 13, when she mentioned she would be returning home, but there has been no contact since. Her family has filed a report with the Cicalengka Police and continues their efforts to locate her.

On Monday, there was a message saying she would come home, but until now there has been no further news. The phone is also not active.

โ€” FitriMaimanati's sister providing an update on the lack of contact and the status of her phone.
