The man reportedly devised the plan to extort money from his family by pretending he had been abducted and contacting his brother with a ransom demand.
The police were alerted to the situation, and during their investigation, they uncovered that the kidnapping was, in fact, a hoax orchestrated by the man himself.
The suspect is now in police custody and facing charges related to extortion and false information.
This incident highlights a troubling trend of fake abductions for financial gain, prompting authorities to warn against such schemes and assure the public of their continued efforts to investigate and prosecute fraudulent activities.
