A

group of people broke into a luxury home on Jl. Kramat II in Karawaci, Tangerang, on Sunday and locked the house’s occupant, a 45-year old disabled man named Cucu, up in a bathroom.

Cucu’s family found him in a weak condition on Sunday afternoon with his hands tied and mouth gagged in the bathroom. He was rushed to the hospital.

Karawaci Police chief Munir Yaji said police were hunting down the perpetrators, estimated to be five persons.
