Jibran Rakabumin Raqa, the son of President Joko Widodo, responded sarcastically to Polda Metro Jaya’s assertion that a popular video of Mario Dandi handcuffing himself was altered.
The public relations office of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko in Jakarta earlier said that Mario Dandi was shown being jailed in Polda Metro Jaya in the video that went viral on social media on Saturday, May 27, 2025. To be modified, the center shackles himself.
“Really?” In response to allegations made regarding Polda Metro Jaya in the media, Gibran—who is also the mayor of Surakarta—sent a tweet.
Thousands of online users suddenly surrounded Gibran’s remarks.
Gibran’s brief message was forwarded 433 times, nearly 300 people responded, more than 3,000 people liked it, and more than 400,000 people watched it.
A video of Mario Dandy putting plastic handcuffs on his hands during his detention in Polda Metro Jaya was reportedly altered, according to a previous report.
The MetroTV official account originally posted the video to TikTok, after which it was extensively shared on social media.
As a result, Mario Dandi and his family continue to receive special treatment from the police, which has drawn criticism from all sides. The father of Mario Dandy is a former tax official who is currently a KPK suspect.
