KUALA LUMPUR – Police clarified that a 38-year-old businessman had debt issues with an employer after he was caught on video getting dragged into a white Toyota Vellfire.

The video that went viral on social media caused a stir, with many netizens assuming that the victim was being kidnapped after he was violently shoved into the car.

According to a statement by the Ampang Jaya district police headquarters, the victim was at a restaurant in Pandan Indah before he was set upon by a group of men.

An emergency call was made at 5.03pm yesterday while several members of the public gave chase on their motorcycles while recording videos of it.
