The Purwakarta District Attorney’s Office, Kejari Purwakarta, destroyed evidence from 61 criminal cases that had obtained final and binding legal force in the courtyard of its office on Monday, 9 November 2026.[1][2] A local outlet reported the destruction at the same office courtyard of varieties of case evidence, including ganja.[3]

The office’s figures give 117.5703 grams of ganja, the Indonesian term for cannabis, destroyed in the exercise.[1][4][2] The ganja was part of 321.0550 grams of narcotics destroyed in total, which also included 161.0134 grams of sabu, crystal methamphetamine, and 42.4813 grams of tembakau sintetis, a tobacco product laced with synthetic cannabinoids.[1]

Neither the methamphetamine nor the synthetic tobacco is counted in the cannabis figure.[1]

The same exercise covered 16,465 illegal pills described as tramadol, hexymer and an opioid-type drug known locally as Double Y.[1][4][2] The office also destroyed 357 counterfeit Rp100,000 notes worth Rp35.7 million and 99 counterfeit US$100 notes worth US$9,900, and burned them with the printing equipment.[1]

Officers used a blender for the narcotics and illegal drugs, mixing them with a soap solution so they could not be used again.[1] The office said the exercise was meant to ensure no destroyed evidence could be misused or circulate back into the community.[1] Deputy Regent Abang Ijo Hapidin attended and said enforcement needed coordination between prosecutors, police, courts and the regional government.[5][2][6]

The head of Kejari Purwakarta, Yudhi Kurniawan, said the destroyed evidence came from cases that had already received final court judgments.[2] Deputy Regent Abang Ijo Hapidin called on parents to supervise their children and also urged residents to fight online gambling alongside drugs and counterfeit money.[2]

The Purwakarta district attorney’s office destroyed 122.6637 grams of ganja alongside 161.0134 grams of methamphetamine during its destruction of evidence in cases with final court judgments.[6]
