Brothers V. Kirtik Ram, 19, who is a lorry attendant, and despatch rider V. Theshvinram, 18, were jointly charged with abducting a 21-year-old local man with the intention of secretly and wrongfully confining him.
The charge, under Section 365 of the Penal Code, provides a maximum prison sentence of seven years and is liable to a fine upon conviction.
For the second charge, they were jointly charged under Section 323 of the same law with voluntarily causing hurt to the same individual. They face a maximum prison sentence of one year or a fine of up to RM2,000 or both upon conviction for the offence.
Both offences were allegedly committed at Jalan Persiaran Permai, Bukit Puchong, Puchong, near here at 6.38 pm on July 22 this year.
The two brothers were allowed bail of RM5,000 each for the kidnapping charge and RM2,000 each for causing hurt. The court set Sept 8 for mention.
