The incident occurred on Monday, December 23, at around 8:30 PM local time, on Jalan Imam Bonjol, Kediri, East Java, while Pradhana was traveling with his family. According to Mia, Pradhana was accosted by two unknown motorcyclists who posed a threat to his safety.
In a later development, the assailants were identified as HFL (33), a resident of Kampung Dalem, and AM, a resident of Mojo District. Mia confirmed that Pradhana’s actions were in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOP) and that he had acted in self-defense.
