Three Men Caught Forcing Motorcyclist Into Lorry — Both Parties Claim “Money Dispute”, Netizens Call Story Suspicious
Subang Jaya – July 23: A viral video showing three Indian men forcibly shoving a motorcyclist into the back of a lorry in broad daylight has sparked public concern across Malaysia. But in a surprising twist, both the alleged perpetrators and the supposed victim have come forward to “clarify” the situation, claiming it was all due to a financial dispute — a story that many netizens are calling “too far-fetched”.
In a new video shared online, one of the men accused of kidnapping — the lorry driver — appears wearing the same white floral shirt as seen in the viral footage. He claims the motorcyclist owed him money and had gone missing for some time, prompting him to search for him.
“Yesterday, he suddenly contacted me and arranged to meet. When I arrived, there were two other men present as well,” said the driver. He admitted knowing the two others but said they were not close friends. When he asked the motorcyclist to get into the lorry for a discussion, the rider refused.
“I warned him not to lie to me and told him to get in the lorry. I held his hand and asked him again, but the two other men unexpectedly lifted him and forced him into the lorry’s rear compartment,” he explained.
He added that the motorcyclist resisted and was assaulted by the two men. “I tried to stop them and told them, ‘This is between me and him. Don’t interfere!’”
Afterwards, he claimed he and the rider sat by the roadside to “talk things through”.
Despite their explanation, many netizens remain unconvinced. The lorry driver’s story has been met with scepticism, with several commenters pointing out inconsistencies and urging the police to conduct a thorough investigation.
Incident Took Place in Puchong During Evening Rush Hour
The incident occurred at around 6.38 pm on Tuesday (22 July) along Persiaran Puchong Permai, near Bandar Puchong Jaya in Selangor. According to initial police reports, the motorcyclist was involved in a dispute with three other men before being assaulted and forced into the lorry.
The 40-second viral video shows the motorcyclist being attacked by multiple individuals before being shoved into the back of the vehicle.
Subang Jaya police chief ACP Wan Azlan confirmed the incident in an official statement, stating, “Based on public reports, the victim was involved in a traffic accident with the three suspects, which escalated into a physical altercation, followed by the alleged abduction.”
Police are currently working to locate the motorcyclist and the three suspects involved. The motive remains unclear, and investigations are ongoing to uncover the full sequence of events.
