The unrest began in Jakarta earlier last week over lawmakers’ lavish housing allowance, but escalated into a broader outcry against police brutality in the capital as well as other cities after the death of Affan Kurniawan, 21, an on-demand motorcycle driver who was killed by a tactical police vehicle during a protest on Thursday night.

On Saturday, a group of people turned their anger toward lawmaker Ahmad Sahroni from NasDem Party, who had drawn criticisms on social media for describing netizens urging the dissolution of the House as “the dumbest people in the world”.

Videos circulating on social media showed hundreds of people breaking into his home in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, on Saturday afternoon, looting furniture, electronics and luxury items, including a designer watch and a life-size action figure. Sahroni does not appear in the footage, while unverified speculation on social media allege he had gone abroad a day earlier.

Later on Saturday, some users began sharing the home addresses of National Mandate Party (PAN) lawmakers Surya “Uya Kuya” Utama and Eko “Patrio” Hendro Purnomo and NasDem’s Nafa Urbach, all of whom had similarly courted public controversy in recent days.

All three celebrities-turned-lawmakers apologized in video messages posted on Saturday night, but these did not quell the rising anger directed against them. That very evening, crowds of people forced their way into Uya’s home in Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, as well as Eko’s home in Kuningan, South Jakarta, according to publicly available footage. Some people were seen fleeing with a sofa and electronic goods from Eko's house, Antara reported.

Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Ade Ary told The Jakarta Post on Sunday that the police are currently investigating the break-ins.
