Three Indians Kidnapped in Thailand, Five Arrested in Bangkok
Three young men from India were tricked into going on a cheap holiday to Pattaya, Thailand.
While there, they were taken away and kept in a bad place for five days.
The kidnappers called their families in India to ask for money.
Thai police found the men and brought them back to safety on Monday.
The police also caught five Indian men who were the kidnappers in Bangkok.
They were about to leave the country when the police stopped them.
The police are keeping them in jail while they investigate.
The whole thing shows how dangerous it can be to travel without knowing who you are dealing with.
It also shows that police can help stop bad people from hurting others.
Three Indian youths were lured to Pattaya, Thailand, via a low‑cost holiday package.
They were held captive and tortured for five days while ransom calls were made to their families in India.
Thai police rescued the victims on Monday.
Five Indian suspects—Avtar Singh, Jagjit Singh, Rambalak Kumar, Sukhbir Singh, and Kulra Singh—were arrested in Bangkok.
The suspects were caught while preparing to board an outbound flight.
