It is known that a son and his girlfriend have been arrested for falsely claiming that he was kidnapped and demanding 100 million kyats from his parents. The incident began when Maung Ngein Chan U (father: U Kyaw Kyaw U), a resident of Thangant Gyi Township, Yangon Region, lost contact with his family on June 25 while going from his home to his workplace. His family then disseminated missing person advertisements through their social media. Regarding the incident, according to the investigation and findings of the responsible officials, around 1 p.m. on June 27, a man contacted Ngein Chan U's mother by phone and said, "Ngein Chan U has been kidnapped. You and your family members must delete the missing person advertisements posted on social media. If you want Ngein Chan U back, you must pay 100 million kyats as ransom, and I will tell you the bank account to transfer the money to." Subsequently, Ngein Chan U's girlfriend, Dr. Khine Su Yee, contacted Ngein Chan U's aunt by phone, stating that she had heard that Ngein Chan U's mother was unwell and receiving medical treatment, and was calling to inquire about her health condition out of concern. Therefore, when the responsible officials investigated the contacted phone numbers, it was found that they were registered under the name of Dr. Khine Su Yee, and initial findings revealed suspicious connections between Dr. Khine Su Yee and Ngein Chan U. Later, around 7:30 a.m. on June 30, Ngein Chan U, disguising his voice and impersonating the kidnapper, contacted them again by phone, saying, "When will you transfer the money? The 3-day deadline has passed. I don't want cash, only KBZ Pay. If you don't transfer, Ngein Chan U will be included in the list for mandatory military service. Transfer 100 million kyats only to Ngein Chan U's KBZ Pay account." Based on this, necessary investigations were carried out to arrest the suspect, and around 12 p.m. on June 30, Ngein Chan U and Dr. Khine Su Yee were arrested at a hotel in Tamwe Township. Ngein Chan U confessed that he had cut off contact with his family on June 27 to spend more time with his girlfriend and had falsely claimed to have been kidnapped without thinking, and therefore, further legal proceedings will be carried out in accordance with the law.
