The Rengasdengklok incident was a kidnapping incident carried out by a number of youths including Soekarni, Wikana, Aidit, and Chaerul Saleh from the “Menteng 31” association against Soekarno and Hatta. The Rengasdengklok incident occurred due to differences of opinion between young and old groups regarding the implementation of the proclamation.

All day Sukarno and Hatta were in Rengasdeengklok. However, because the two figures had considerable authority, the youths were reluctant to put pressure on them.
