The violent altercation broke out when a group of approximately 20 individuals arrived at a disputed land plot in Kemang Raya around 9:00 AM local time. They were confronted by another group claiming to be heirs of the land.

“There was an attempt to enter the land area by one party, but they were blocked by a group of heirs. This led to a brief clash involving stone throwing and caused traffic congestion,” said Polda Metro Jaya spokesperson Commissioner Ade Ary Syam Indradi.
