The demonstration caused chaos in several regions. The police eventually released those responsible for the riots.
Police confirmed that the protesters who sparked the riot were not from groups of workers or students.
“Before the demonstration we made raids and indeed they were not people who wanted to demonstrate, nor people who were workers or students. They were people who were anarchos, all of them unemployed, we found those people on the street, “he said.

Yusri said they had come to Jakarta to start a riot. The “protesters” who burned and destroyed various public facilities in DKI, Yusri said, were confirmed to be rioters.
“They really came here to cause a riot. Including what happened before, the arson was no longer a student, it was no longer a worker, that was the troublemaker,” he explained.
Before the demonstration ended in chaos, the police arrested dozens of teenagers from the Monas area to the DPR. The protesters who called the police were an anarchist group and some even came from outside Jakarta.
“Yes, everyone in Monas got off the train (at) Gambir station, they came from East Jakarta in trucks from the Karawang area. So they really want riots in Jakarta, everyone. This is called anarchist groups,” Yusri said.
“But it is transmitted that we are humanists, persuasive, we give them masks, we serve them when we ask for information. Originally from various cities, such as Bogor, Karawang, Jakarta itself, Banten,” he added.
The rioters were brought to Polda Metro Jaya and various polres within Polda Metro’s jurisdiction. They are still being questioned by the police.
“(Taken to) Polda Metro Jaya, some were in the police station, all kinds of things, some were in East Jakarta, South Tangerang, some were in Polda Metro Jaya, they were all examined, still asked for information “Yusri explained.
