Dandi Supriadi, Head of Unpad’s Public Communication Office, confirmed the development, stating that the university actively supported the victim during the process. “The latest update confirms the victim has made an official report to the police, accompanied by a dedicated team from Unpad,” Dandi informed kumparan on Thursday, May 14, highlighting the university’s unwavering commitment to GCR’s well-being.

Delving into the specifics of the incident, Dandi revealed that Unpad’s internal investigation indicated a violent attempted robbery. According to eyewitnesses and GCR’s personal account, she was brazenly threatened with a sharp weapon by the assailant. In a desperate attempt to escape her attacker, GCR stumbled and fell. The perpetrator, described as panicking, then tragically moved forward on his motorcycle, running her over before fleeing the scene.

Information gathered by Unpad from the victim confirmed that the terrifying encounter unfolded shortly after she had finished eating that evening. The perpetrator abruptly confronted her. Dandi speculated on the motive, “It was likely a mugging, perhaps targeting her cell phone. Fortunately, no valuables were taken at the time of the assault.” This suggests the quick action of GCR, despite the severe consequences, prevented the theft.

Following the traumatic event, Unpad has pledged its full support for GCR’s recovery, committing to comprehensive medical care. While the victim’s condition is reportedly improving, the university remains vigilant, planning further examinations. “We are concerned there might be other injuries because she was run over, and we want to ensure her full recovery,” Dandi emphasized.

Demonstrating its proactive approach, Unpad’s Directorate of Student Affairs promptly arranged for GCR to be transferred to Unpad Hospital earlier that afternoon. This decision was made after her initial treatment at a local community health center. Detailed checks at the university hospital confirmed an additional injury in her thigh area, necessitating immediate observation and specialized treatment. “The Unpad team swiftly brought her to the hospital, where she received direct and dedicated care,” Dandi recounted, underscoring the coordinated effort.

Furthermore, Unpad has assured that all medical expenses related to GCR’s treatment will be covered. “Should the costs not be fully encompassed by BPJS (the national health insurance scheme), they will be entirely borne by Unpad’s student affairs fund,” Dandi affirmed. This guarantee ensures that financial burdens will not impede GCR’s path to recovery, allowing her to focus solely on healing after the disturbing incident.
