Moscow : A man, kidnapped from a hospital by a group of men, was released after the kidnappers realised they had abducted the wrong person, investigators said.

The man was later found alive at his father’s house. He told investigators that he was abducted by unidentified individuals, who released him after a brief talk.
The man believes that his kidnappers made a mistake, the investigative department said.
It was not clear who the kidnappers actually wanted to abduct.
