Police in Bali are investigating a reported kidnapping involving 28-year-old Igor Komarov, the son of a Ukrainian businessman, after a disturbing ransom video circulated online. Komarov, from Dnipro, was reportedly vacationing on the Indonesian island with his girlfriend, influencer Yesa Mishalova, when he allegedly disappeared on February 15 after being ambushed while riding a scooter in the Jimbaran area of Badung. Reports suggest the kidnappers demanded $10 million and claimed the money was connected to a dispute involving Komarov’s father. Yesa had posted frequent travel updates on social media in the weeks leading up to the incident, but those posts reportedly stopped abruptly after mid-February. Authorities have not confirmed whether the online video is authentic, but it has intensified public concern and prompted a wider search tied to the missing-person report.

Days later, Indonesian police announced that human remains were discovered along beaches near the Wos River estuary, triggering a separate forensic investigation. Officials emphasized there is still no official confirmation that the remains belong to Komarov, and they are treating the discovery and the alleged abduction as distinct cases until scientific results can establish a link. Investigators have collected DNA samples from Komarov’s mother to compare with the forensic evidence, and Bali police say they are coordinating with the Ukrainian consulate as the case develops. Authorities also searched a villa in Tabanan that they suspect may be connected to the filming of the ransom video, and they reported finding traces that could support the missing-person inquiry. Police have identified six potential suspects by initials and believe some may have left Indonesia. For now, investigators say they will not speculate publicly and will rely on forensic findings and verified evidence to determine what happened.
