A 22-year-old Bangladeshi man in Singapore is set to be charged on February 14, 2026, with attempted cheating after allegedly staging his own kidnapping. Police were alerted when he failed to show up for work, followed by a report claiming he was abducted, complete with ransom demands and photos of him bound. Officers located him near Marina Bay within hours. Investigations suggest he fabricated the incident for personal reasons, no ransom was paid, and his devices were seized. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison or a fine.
