T
he Central Jakarta Police are hunting for a Transjakarta driver with initials TWW for the alleged sexual harassment of a female officer on a bus.
According to Central Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Hendro Pandowo, the officer recently reported to the police that TWW had harassed her while they were working together.
Hendro explained that the officer had been retreiving her purse from near the driver's seat when TWW poked her genitals.
'At that time, they were already on the last run on Central Jakarta's Harmoni'Cililitan route,' Hendro added on Wednesday.
A similar incident happened on a commuter train serving the Jatinegara-Bogor route.
A post went viral on social media recently, when a man reported that he had just seen a woman whose skirt and purse were covered with sticky liquid. The man suspected that the liquid was sperm as he had seen no one throwing liquids.
Responding to the issue, PT KAI Commuter Jabodetabek spokeswoman Eva Chairunisa urged female passengers who had experienced such harassment to file a report with the police. She said that the reports would help to put perpetrators of sexual harrasment in jail.
