A Korean YouTuber recently experienced a harrowing ordeal while traveling in India, sparking widespread attention online.
The YouTuber, known as Lerrico, was on a cycling trip in the Leh region, a popular destination for trekking enthusiasts. What began as an adventurous trip quickly turned into a nightmare.
Lerrico had initially planned to reach Leh by bus, but due to limited bus services, he opted to cycle the 450-kilometer distance instead. After days of strenuous cycling, he was exhausted when a truck pulled up alongside him. The locals in the truck offered him a ride, which he accepted, believing he was close to his destination.
However, Lerrico soon realized something was terribly wrong. After falling asleep in the truck, he woke up in a desolate area, far from his intended route. The men who had offered him a ride were now threatening him with sticks, demanding money. They also attempted to steal his belongings, including his phone and camera, and forced him to take an unknown drug.
They made me take the drug twice. The first time, I pretended to take it and hid it in my hand, but 30 to 40 minutes later, they gave me another drug. This time, they watched me swallow it, so I had no choice but to take it. After taking the drug, I was out of it for 5 to 6 hours.

In a desperate bid to survive, Lerrico pretended to take the drug but was forced to ingest it when the kidnappers insisted. The drug left him disoriented for several hours. Despite this, he managed to contact a friend, who alerted the authorities. After 30 terrifying hours, Lerrico was finally released, though he had lost a significant amount of money.
Following his release, Lerrico reported the incident to the police. Initially, local authorities were slow to act, claiming jurisdictional issues. However, after further pressure, the kidnappers were arrested. They initially denied the charges but later confessed under police interrogation and alleged abuse.
The kidnappers were on their knees begging for an hour and a half and were severely beaten by the police. The police even said, ‘These poor guys, can’t you just let it go this once?’ and continued to hit them.
