Jakarta’s Transportation Department (Dishub) has refuted allegations that its officers demanded payment from an online motorcycle taxi (ojek online) driver during a vehicle towing incident in East Jakarta. Reports had circulated claiming a driver, identified as Pak Sulis, was asked for Rp 250,000 and that his motorcycle was unlawfully detained. Dishub officials state no such fee was requested and the motorcycle was not held. The clarification comes after the incident gained attention online, prompting the department to address the claims publicly. Authorities confirmed standard procedures were followed during the towing operation, which occurred in the Jatinegara area. The department aims to maintain transparency and address public concerns regarding its operations and interactions with the public. Further investigation into the initial claims is ongoing.
