Grace Natalie reported two social media accounts to the police for allegedly committing cyber-based harassment.

Grace filed the police report on June 7, bringing pieces of evidence in the form of a photo uploaded by @prof.djohkhowie and six others uploaded by @Hulk_idn. Tsamara and Andy entered the investigation room at around 1:18 pm.

Tsamara said the report was filed not only to defend Grace's name, but also to act against hoaxes on social media intending to undermine women in politics.

“It shows the resistance against the defamation by @Hulk_idn that pollutes our democracy,” said the PSI politician.
