Online Taxi Driver Found Dead on Jagorawi Toll Road, Suspected Robbery Murder

Bogor, West Java—November 10, 2025 — The body of an online taxi driver was found bound and lifeless on the shoulder of the Jagorawi Toll Road in Citeureup District, Bogor Regency, early Monday evening, sparking a police investigation into a possible robbery and murder case.

Local residents spotted the body lying near kilometer marker 30+800 of the toll road and immediately alerted authorities.

Police later identified the victim as Ujang Adiwijaya (57), a resident of Pancoran Mas, Depok, who worked as an online taxi driver, according to official statements and local reports. His car and personal belongings were missing from the scene, leading investigators to believe that Ujang was likely attacked while working and robbed before being killed. His body was evacuated to Polri Hospital in Kramat Jati, Jakarta, for a full autopsy and forensic examination as part of the ongoing investigation. (detikcom)

Bogor Police Chief AKBP Wikha Ardilestanto confirmed that the case involved strong indications of a criminal act and revealed that authorities had already arrested two suspects in connection with the incident. The suspects, identified by their initials RS and AH, were apprehended after law enforcement traced clues from the victim’s vehicle and mobile data. Early findings indicate that the suspects may have lured Ujang with a ride request, then assaulted him and attempted to steal his car and other possessions. (VOI)

Investigators stated that the suspects tried to escape but ran into difficulties when the stolen vehicle stalled near Sentul Utara Toll Gate. They reportedly called for a towing service before police eventually tracked and detained them in Ciamis Regency, where they were found engaging in unusual ritual behavior at a cemetery. (detiknews)
