A loan-sharking gang took nude photos of a 50-year-old woman from the mainland to coerce her family into repaying her debt, Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Ho Chan Nam said during a regular press briefing yesterday.
Ho said a woman from the mainland reported on Monday that her mother had been falsely imprisoned in the city for failing to pay her gambling debts.
After investigating, the police found that the victim had been staying in a hotel in Nape from Friday last week to Monday. CCTV footage of the hotel showed that the victim was accompanied by three men when she checked out of her room on Monday.
