Blood remains from illegal abortion patients were found, then abortion equipment, including blood-stained cotton wool,” he said. The five main suspects who are managers of illegal abortion clinics were detained at the Polda Metro Jaya Detention Centre. For their actions, they were charged with Article 428 paragraph 1 together with Article 60 paragraphs 1 and 2 of Law Number 17 of 2023 regarding Health with the threat of a sentence of 12 years in prison. The role of the suspects Dirkrimsus Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Edy Suranta Sitepu detailed the role of the suspects, one of whom was an NS woman, who played the role of performing abortions for patients. He appears to be an ob-gyn (obstetrics and gynecology) doctor who understands the abortion process. “Sister NS, this has the role of executor, or doctor, like an ob-gyn doctor,” Edy said. Apart from that, there are RH women whose role is to help NS in the abortion process. There is also wife M, who plays the role of picking up, dropping off, as well as admin who communicates with patients. “M has the role of picking up and dropping off patients, both when they pick them up and when they return after having an abortion,” he said. Furthermore, there is also a LN man, whose role is to rent the apartment where the abortion is performed and a YH man who manages the website. For your information, the site promotes the practice of illegal abortion. Two patients with the initials KWM and R are also suspects in this case. Both of them were in room 28A on the 28th floor of the apartment when the police carried out the raid. Operating since 2022 Police have revealed that an illegal abortion clinic has been operating in an East Jakarta apartment for three years. To date, as many as 361 people have undergone abortions at this illegal clinic. “Then we processed the data on the admin’s mobile phone. From this data processing we found the names of 361 patients,” said Commissioner Edy. Edy said the perpetrators changed places to perform abortions, from Bekasi to East Jakarta. Apartments used as abortion clinics are rented daily or weekly, depending on the number of patients at that location. “They move from place to place, and usually they rent an apartment, and it’s just a daily or weekly rental. So they don’t rent the apartment for a long period, but maybe 1-2 days, depending on the number of patients,” he said. Promotion via website Police revealed that an illegal abortion clinic operated in an East Jakarta apartment was promoting via a website. They also admitted that they had consent and involved an ob-gyn (obstetrics and gynecology) doctor. “The method they use is that they create a website, then link it to the admin, then on the website it is as if the practices or clinics are licensed and managed by a specialist doctor, namely an ob-gyn specialist,” said Edy. The suspects ran two websites that promoted abortion services. After the patient is connected via the website, communication continues via WhatsApp. “When you are connected and plan to have an abortion, the admin will provide the requirements. The first is to provide an ultrasound, then take a photo, send it to the admin and then the patient’s ID card. Then study it. After that, an appointment will be given, whether it is the place, place, time, including the points where the collection will be made,” he explained. Earn profit of IDR 2.6 billion Police revealed that an illegal abortion clinic in an East Jakarta apartment has been operating since 2022 with a total of 361 patients. The suspects made a profit of up to IDR 2.6 billion from the clinic’s operations. “Meanwhile, the total profit achieved by all suspects until 2025 is IDR 2,613,700,000 (billion),” Commissioner Edy said. Edy said the suspects set a price of IDR 5-8 million for one abortion. The suspects then divided the proceeds of the crime. NS women as ‘doctors’ who perform abortions get a share of IDR 1.7 million from one patient. “Then, sister RH, has the role of helping NS to perform an abortion, to get a result of about Rp. 1 million. Then, sister M, has the role of picking up and dropping off the patient, both during the pick-up and when she returns after the abortion. It is also processed and gets a result of about Rp. 1 million,” he explained. Then the suspect YH, as the website manager, actually received the highest payment, namely IDR 2 million for one patient. Meanwhile, the suspect LN, who rented the apartment, also picked up the patient and received a fee of IDR 200-400 thousand. “Brother YH, this is an admin, the admin manages it, then check the ultrasound including the KTP and make an appointment. Get a share of about IDR 2 million,” Edy said. (fas/fas)

Orders have been given to stop vehicles on all the highways of the state when visibility is less than 50 meters. Remove advertisement Read news only In the direction of the government, it was said that all the highway authorities (UPEDA, YIDA), National Highway Authority of India and Uttar Pradesh State Highway Authority (UPSHA) must ensure that when the visibility on the route is less than 50 meters, all the buses must be stopped at a safe place near public convenience areas or toll plazas. Patrolling will be increased in mist-infested corridors and accident-prone areas and arrangements for ambulances, canes and firemen must be ensured at suitable locations for any adverse situation. To provide adequate lighting on the route, arrangements for solar high-mast lights and anti-fog lights should be ensured. Lane marking, reflector demarcation, cat eye etc. and installation of appropriate retro-reflective signs must be ensured on the routes. The damaged vehicles parked along the road should be immediately removed and parked in designated safe places by effective patrolling and cranes. Yamuna Authority’s ACEO Shailendra Bhatia said that the order was issued by the government. This will be strictly followed. Fog Management Safety Tips Check the weather forecast for your entire route before you set off. Keep speed low. Allow extra time to reach your destination and drive slower than usual. Keep low-beam headlights on. This makes your vehicle clearly visible to others. Make sure the taillights are on too. Do not use high beams in fog, as the light reflects off the fog and further impairs visibility. Provide indicators in advance. Give early signals before you turn or stop and brake slowly. Maintain more distance from the vehicle moving ahead. Keep extra following distance to be safe in case of a sudden stop. Be especially careful at intersections. Use windshield wipers and defogger. Keep headlights and windshield clean.

Updated: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 05:45 (IST) The condition of night shelters in Pilibhit is alarming. Here, the needy need a ‘guide’ to find a night shelter and Rs 100 to spend the night. Read more Permanent night shelter built in Pilibhit Jagran correspondent, Pilibhit. The chills set in, but looking at the disorder in the night shelters of the municipality, it seems that the administration is more interested in paper filling than the suffering of the needy people. When Jagran’s team investigated the night shelters of the city, they found a maze of roads in some places, and in some places the poor were seen being forced to cope. The employee present at the temporary night shelter collected Rs 100 from a youth who reached the shelter while it is completely free. Remove Advertisement Read Only News Permanent Night Shelter Mohalla Bhure Khan Time – 20:00: The municipality has made a wonderful permanent night shelter in the Bhure Khan area, but to get here you will need an experienced guide. After getting off Tanakpur highway and walking about two hundred meters to Nakatadana junction, a narrow lane turns. Ironically, there is no banner or sign on the main road to say where the night shelter is. After going through several twisting streets within about 400 meters, even if you reach the door of the night shelter, the darkness will welcome you. Due to lack of proper lighting, the night shelter itself is lost in the dark. The interior view was even more strange, the beds were decorated, the kitchen sparkling. The bonfire was burning, but no needy person was present there, which confirms that people are not aware of the night shelter. The child of a local person was doing mischief near the bonfire. It is clear from this that despite the abundance of facilities, due to lack of proper location and publicity, this night shelter is a white elephant. Temporary Night Basera (Roadways Bus Station) Time – 20:30: Being close to the highway and bus station, there is a crowd of travelers here, but the facilities are at your disposal. A tin shed was declared a night shelter by putting canvas curtains under it. Travelers are forced to spend the night using mats spread on the ground and some mattresses. The most shameful thing is that the employees posted here take advantage of the helplessness of the passengers. The passengers who stayed at the night shelter told in hushed tones that they were being charged a convenience fee (illegal collection) in the name of guarding the bags. Seven or eight people were found warming themselves by bonfires in the bitter cold, but the atmosphere there looked less like a night shelter and more like a recovery center. On one side, the permanent night shelter is lost in the maze of streets, while on the other side, the temporary shelter is infested with termites of corruption. The claims of the municipality are apparently dying in these narrow streets and holes in the canvas. Night shelters are monitored. Arrangements were made for publicity. Mattresses were spread on the ground for temporary night shelters. More people can come than that. Preparations were also made for a night shelter in the municipality’s premises. If an employee has charged a convenience fee. Action will be taken on that. – Sanjeev Kumar, EO NAPA Pilibhit Also Read – Cold wave devastation in Pilibhit: Lowland covered with a white sheet of fog, mercury dropped to 9°C
