A man was kidnappped in broad daylight and in public in Ampang, Selangor, as seen in videos going viral online.
According to a report by China Press, the man was taken from Ampang and was later released in Klang, after a group of men struggled to grab and dragged him into a waiting white Toyota Vellfire.
Preliminary investigations have found that the incident took place due to debt that the victim owed and police have confirmed that the kidnapper is a 38-year-old businessman. This incident took place yesterday (September 29) at around 5:03pm, when the victim was alone at a restaurant.
In the videos showcased online, the victim could be seen shouting and resisting as at least 4 men dragged him into the Vellfire. Motorcyclists even stopped and approached the group, and were later seen chasing after the Vellfire with the victim inside.
Ampang Jaya district police chief ACP Mohamad Farouk Eshak shared that the victim has received treatment at the Ampang Hospital as he has injuries to his face and feet.
“At about 10:45pm, the victim went to the Ampang Jaya police headquarters to make a report. The victim was released in the Klang area after being kidnapped. He had some wounds on his feet and face, and was then treated at the Ampang Hospital,” he said.
They are currently looking for the whereabouts of the suspects and thanks the public for the various forms of assistance in this case.
