Police have arrested 11 suspects over the kidnapping and death of a businessman in Selangor last month. 

Investigations are ongoing, and state police add that for now, they have not ruled out the possibility that it was linked to debt or was business-related. 

The victim was reportedly kidnapped while jogging in Sri Damansara, and his remains were found in Rawang several days later.
