Overview
- The case began when a victim used the Public Prosecution’s My Safe Society platform to report kidnapping, indecent assault and coerced filming.
- Investigators say the suspects lured the victim over a financial dispute, tied his hands, detained him for a week and forced him to sign debt instruments.
- Authorities state the gang filmed the victim naked and shared the footage on social media to blackmail his family for money.
- Law enforcement seized a vehicle and mobile phones allegedly used in the crimes, with recovered videos cited as corroborating evidence.
- The probe was launched under Attorney-General Dr. Hamad Saif Al Shamsi’s directives, and formal judicial proceedings now await in court.
