JAKARTA: Several government buildings in Purbalingga regency, Central Java were vandalised in an act allegedly related to the recent brouhaha surrounding Sukatani, a punk band from the regency, and its song criticising the police.

Unidentified groups of people spray-painted several buildings, including police stations and the regency’s Regional Representative Council (DPRD) building using red and black paint. They painted the letter A in a circle that resembles a symbol for anarchism. Phrases such as “MERAH #SUKATANI” (Red #Sukatani) were also seen sprayed in the building, as reported by kompas.com.
