Malaysian authorities have remanded six suspects for a week as investigations continue into a kidnapping incident involving two foreign nationals in Alor Star, Kedah.

Thai authorities rescued three Indian tourists from a Pattaya townhouse on Monday, July 27, after they were allegedly abducted and held for ransom by a transnational gang demanding approximately 1.4 million baht per victim.

Six men have pleaded not guilty at Petaling Jaya Sessions Court to charges of kidnapping a 44-year-old businessman and demanding an RM8 million ransom in an incident that occurred two weeks prior.

Six men are set to be charged in connection with the kidnapping of a victim for a RM7 million ransom in Petaling Jaya, marking a significant development in the high-profile criminal case.

A man freed from kidnapping following a RM7 million ransom demand has been arrested under preventive detention laws after police uncovered suspected connections to a drug trafficking syndicate, shifting the case from victim to suspect.
