"The purpose of creating that content was to increase the ratings and followers of his Tiktok and YouTube accounts, with a scenario as if a Malaysian Tiktoker named Eykaa went missing in the Bandung forest, but with that incident, they were unaware that in Indonesia there is a law regulating that spreading hoaxes is subject to criminal sanctions," said the Panyileukan Police Chief, Kompol Kurnia, as reported by Detik.com. Furthermore, Kurnia also mentioned that Ammar and his friends' activities in Bandung did not have permission.
