The Man , whom the BBC is not naming, is believed to have been freed after the ransom was paid.
The British Embassy confirmed they were aware of The Incident but they told news agency AFP The Investigation was being handled by local police.
According to local media, The Man was reported missing by his wife on 31 October.
He had been stopped on one of The City 's highways and taken to The Police station before Ending Up in The Hotel in East Jakarta , where his alleged captors interrogated him all day.
It ended with them demanding he call his boss to ask for the ransom, to be paid in US dollars
