Mohammad Sharulnaim Miswan admitted to the three charges, including extortion, obstructing justice, and wrongful confinement, during his trial on August 25. Two other charges were factored in during the sentencing. Due to a gag order, the victims' identities and incident locations remain undisclosed.",
