The suspect, an inspector with the Perak police headquarters, was picked up last Friday to facilitate an investigation into the case that took place on Jan 10.

Seremban police chief Arifai Tarawe said police received a report from a Bangladeshi man who claimed that his brother had been taken away by a group of people in Bandar Sri Sendayan.

“Following the report, police carried out a raid and rescued the victim,” he said in a report by Harian Metro.

Preliminary investigations showed the victim was believed to owe RM70,000 to one of the suspects and had failed to pay back the debt.

Police said the suspects had been on remand for a week, ending tomorrow, and the case is being investigated for kidnapping under Section 363 of the Penal Code.
