A man was kidnapped at the Yaroslavsky railway station in Moscow, with authorities investigating the incident. According to reports, four individuals forcibly carried the man through the station and placed him in the trunk of a black Mercedes-Benz equipped with flashing lights. The vehicle then departed in an unknown direction.

Eyewitnesses captured the event on video, with footage showing the man shouting and pleading for someone to call the police. Online observers have noted the kidnapped man’s apparent resemblance to businessman Areg Shchepikhin.

Shchepikhin’s social media profiles indicate his involvement with the “Federal Corporation for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises,” along with references to startup schools and blogger communities. His online presence also includes photographs featuring various officials and celebrities.

Law enforcement officials reportedly intercepted the Mercedes on the Kievskoe highway following the kidnapping. However, the current whereabouts and condition of the kidnapped individual remain unknown.

Police are actively pursuing an investigation into the kidnapping incident.
