Teen brothers charged with abduction, assault of lorry driver
SHAH ALAM: Two brothers were jointly charged at the magistrate's court today with two charges of abducting and voluntarily causing hurt to a lorry driver, allegedly over a monetary dispute last week. V. Kirtik Ram, 19, and V. Theshvinram, 18, pleaded not guilty after the two joint charges were read out to them before magistrate Mohamad Redza Azhar Rezali. Kirtik, a lorry attendant, and Theshvinram, a p-hailing rider, both wearing face masks, stood side by side near the dock during proceedings and nodded to show they understood the charges. They claimed trial to the charges of kidnapping with the intent to secretly and wrongfully confine someone and causing injuries on Muhamad Azwar Danish Rosmadi, 21. The alleged incident occurred at 6.38pm in Jalan Persiaran Puchong Permai, Puchong, on July 22. The charges under Section 365 and Section 323 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code carry a maximum jail term of seven years and a fine, as well as a jail term of up to one year, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Nurul Akhilah Rosmi urged the court to set bail of RM8,000 for each charge. Defence lawyer Noor Farazidah asked the court to set a minimal bail. She said the brothers are taking care of their 64-year-old grandmother and are supporting their younger siblings. "The accused are young offenders and voluntarily surrendered to the police. "Kirtik earns RM1,500 a month as a lorry attendant while Theshvinram, who suffers from shoulder injuries, has unstable income as a p-hailing rider. "They are innocent until proven guilty, and I ask for them to be given the lowest possible bail," she said. Redza set bail at RM7,000 with one surety for each accused and set Sept 8 for mention. Last Friday, their alleged accomplice, lorry driver, P. Nandakumaar, 32, was charged under Section 365 in connection with the same case before Shah Alam court magistrate Muhammad Syafiq Sulaiman. He, however, was denied bail. Subang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Azlan Wan Mamat had said three suspects were arrested in Puchong and Hulu Selangor for their involvement in the abduction. Police seized clothes and mobile phones to facilitate further investigations. Wan Azlan said based on preliminary investigations, the motive of the abduction is unpaid debt. A 40-second video clip of the victim being forcibly shoved into the back of a lorry recorded by a road user has gone viral. The men were seen assaulting the victim as they pushed him into the lorry. Acting on a tip-off, a man was arrested and he was found with the victim.
