After she declined to marry him, a Russian man kidnapped an 18-year-old lady in a medieval practice known as “bride theft,” which was recorded on shocking video.
East2West stated that three guys were observed removing Bella Ravoyan from an apartment building in the city of Tambov and placing her in a car that drove her to the Nizhny Novgorod area.
Police have identified her abductors as her rejected boyfriend, 20-year-old Amik Shamoyan, his father, 48-year-old Oganes, and brother, 24-year-old Alo.
“Amik was in love with this girl, and they abducted her,” a friend reportedly told the local gazetta.
“After Bella’s father filed a police report, she was returned to him. Amik turned himself in to police,” the individual continued.
Bella Ravoyan, age 18, is shown being taken after refusing to marry Amik Shamoyan, age 20.

Oganes and Alo are still on the loose. If convicted, each man faces up to 12 years in prison.
Some local media sites have interpreted the kidnapping as a medieval “wife stealing” practice that is still common in some regions of the nation.
Additionally, some rumors imply that Bella and Amik are linked.
According to the Russian Investigative Committee, two further individuals have been placed on a federal wanted list.
