West Java Governor visits domestic abuse victim, vows full medical coverage

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi visited Yuvita Sri Rezeki, a 29-year-old woman who is a victim of alleged severe assault and confinement, at the Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in Bandung. Mulyadi expressed his distress upon seeing Yuvita's condition, stating he "couldn't bear to look" at her severe injuries, reportedly inflicted by her boyfriend, identified as TH.

Mulyadi assured that the West Java Provincial Government would cover all of Yuvita's medical expenses until her full recovery, relieving her family of any financial burden. He also mentioned that her parents had been provided with financial aid to manage their household needs while staying with their daughter. "The West Java Provincial Government is responsible for its citizens," Mulyadi stated.

He also advised women to be cautious of their partners, noting the prevalence of violence against women. "Be careful, be vigilant. If you go out with a man, make sure you are accompanied by family. That is important," he urged.

Mulyadi confirmed he had communicated with the West Java Regional Police and expressed confidence that the perpetrator would be apprehended soon, adding that there was no need to open donation drives for the victim. Meanwhile, West Java Police Chief Inspector General Pol Rudi Setiawan issued an ultimatum for TH to surrender, stating, "Regarding information about the perpetrator's whereabouts, we cannot disclose technical details, but of course, we will pursue him wherever he goes."

Setiawan added that the police would question the victim once her condition stabilized to gather information about the perpetrator. He acknowledged the victim's severe trauma from her three-year relationship with TH and assured that the questioning would be conducted with sensitivity to her psychological state. A special team has been formed to apprehend the suspect, who remains at large.
