JAKARTA: A man was beaten and splashed in the face with chili sauce in a bitter argument at a mall in Jakarta on Tuesday afternoon, police reported Wednesday.
Budianto, 46, was meeting up with three acquaintances identified as DE, LN and JE. The quarrel began when the three accused him of giving LN’s girlfriend’s phone number to other people.
The three then asked eight thugs to beat Budianto up; one thug splashed him with the chili sauce. They then pulled a knife on him, had him sign a letter stating he owed them Rp 100 million (US$10,000) forced him to give up his mobile phone and made him withdraw Rp 4.5 million from his account.
The case is being investigated by Central Jakarta Police. — JP
