A 25-year-old man with the initials MJF was attacked and robbed at a nightclub on early Thursday (13/1).
The Head of the North Kuta Criminal Investigation Bureau, Iptu Made Purwantara, confirmed that he received a report of the incident on Thursday at 2:00 am.
The victim suffered injuries after getting beaten up by over 20 people at the nightclub in Jalan Petitenget Number 208X, Seminyak North Kuta.
The victim went to the nightclub that night after being invited by one of his friends. Upon arrival, he attempted to find his friend by exploring the club as he wasn’t allowed to bring his phone inside.
Another guest then approached him, offended and asserting that the victim had stared at his girlfriend. The argument escalated, and the man and his friends started beating up the victim.
Although the place was secured by security guards, the mob kept assaulting the victim until he was expelled from the nightclub. Once he was outside, he realized that his cellphone, wallet, and jewelry inside his bag had been stolen.
“I was mobbed and robbed by 20 people, but I’ve already reported the incident to the police this afternoon,” MJF said.

Avoiding the name of the nightclub by giving an address instead.
Let's make it easier to the reader. Jl. Petitenget 208X is the same address where famous Shishi happens to be.
Shishi is the answer.

@Joch, The Kuta, Seminyak area seems to be a hotspot for muggers & thieves. Why are there no/hardly police presence in the hotspot areas??? Very auspicious

@Ricky, Anyway, there are tourists who like to wear theirs expensive belongings everywhere they like to go without any risk to be robbed. - There was times when foreigners in Bali was wearing everywhere diamond rings, Cartier wach‘s, thick gold chains with pendants … in 1980‘s for example. Today’s Bali isn’t right place for such persons, therefore it can be only right place for tourists who live on maximal daily budget of a few US bucks.

@Wayan Bo, A "FRIEND" invited him, carrying jewelry? lured into a shit hole to be robbed nobody saw nothing will be the police investigation result. Maybee MJF might be interested in a private poker game. same nightclub could arrange that for him.
