Thai police have arrested five Indian nationals accused of kidnapping three fellow Indians and demanding ransom for their release. According to the Bangkok Post, the suspects were detained at a hotel in Bangkok's Khlong Tan district on Tuesday while allegedly attempting to leave the country. Investigators said the victims were lured to Thailand under the pretext of a budget holiday package before being held captive for ransom. The suspects have been identified as Avtar Singh (38), Jagjit Singh (38), Rambalak Kumar (24), Sukhbir Singh (37) and Kulra Singh (27).
According to sources, the suspects told Pattaya police that a Pakistani national they had connected with through a chat application about a month earlier had instructed them to kidnap the three Indian men.

In return, the accused kidnappers were allegedly promised the victims' cash and valuables, as well as airline tickets to help them flee Thailand, the Bangkok Post reported.
