Three Indian Men Rescued in Thailand After Kidnapping and Ransom Demand
Three Indian men were kidnapped and held captive in Pattaya, Thailand, after being lured by a fake low-cost seven-day tour package. A gang of Indian and Pakistani nationals reportedly tortured the victims for a ransom of about 2.4 million baht (around Rs 69-70 lakh). Thai police rescued the men on July 27 from a rented house, arresting five Indian suspects while Pakistani accomplices remain at large. The victims suffered physical abuse and were forced to contact their families for ransom demands.
