Due to her manly silhouette and outfit, a woman who was caught for theft was nearly stripped naked of her clothes by an angry mob in Indonesia.
Shared on an Instagram account, @bekasi, the 1-minute video revealed a woman, also known as NN, 51, seated on a chair of a resident’s home and surrounded by an angry mob. The video was uploaded on Monday, Nov 25th.
According to Bekasi, the woman pretended to be a guest and casually ‘visited’ the resident. NN then slipped into one of the bedrooms in the house and wandered about in it. Fatefully, the owner who was sleeping in the room, woke up and screamed when he saw a stranger in his room.
In a blink of an eye, the whole neighbourhood swarmed over to the house and captured her, which led to her being interrogated in the house.
Captioned in the post, “To friends at home, please be careful of women who pretend to be a guest and that will casually slip into your bedroom. The event took place at Setia Mulya Village, Tarumajaya, Bekasi. She tried to deceive people by wearing hijab.”
As clearly seen in the video, the woman wore a black headscarf with a denim jacket and a pair of jeans, making her looking suspiciously like a man.

Boiled with heated emotions, the crowd suddenly started to strip off her hijab, which revealed her manly, coloured hair, and tattoos on her body. This further convinced them that she was a man.

In the commotion, NN defended herself and insisted that, “I’m a girl!’
Thankfully, some sensible people actually stopped the rest of the angry crowd from stripping her naked. NN was handed to the police when the residents decided to call the authorities to settle their dispute.
Tarumajaya Police Chief, Yudho Anto Hutri, repetitively stressed to the public that the ‘man’ was indeed a woman.
“Woman, woman, she is definitely a woman. Even though she has tattoos on her and her hair is short.”
“She was caught even before she could have stolen anything. But she still did invade the room.”
Allegedly, NN is suspected of planning to commit theft at the village head’s house.
Geez, what’s with the violence though? They could’ve just handed her over peacefully instead of making a racket like this.
