The nightmare began when the businessman's wife, their maid and daughter were driving home. They were forced off the road by another vehicle in Permas Jaya recently. Subsequently, the kidnappers took over the wheel and drove off with the three of them to an undisclosed location.
The kidnappers then sent an MMS of the three victims being held at gunpoint to the businessman before demanding a ransom of S$50mil (RM115mil) which was subsequently negotiated down to S$9mil in large denominations of Singapore dollars.
The businessman was then instructed to drive to a plantation in Kulaijaya to drop off the money.
The three victims, who were bound and gagged during the ordeal, were eventually dropped off around Danga Bay only two days after the ransom was paid, unharmed.Police have launched a manhunt for the kidnappers who are believed to be professionals. Bukit Aman has formed a special taskforce to investigate the case. The authorities are also checking whether the group could have been involved in other kidnappings in the country.
Interpol has been roped in to help with the investigations as police believe that the suspects could have fled the country.
