Two Indian nationals kidnapped shortly after arriving at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) have been rescued, while three Pakistani nationals suspected of holding them hostage have been arrested in a swift, intelligence-led operation by detectives from the Operation Support Unit (OSU).
The two victims, identified as Sandeep Sandeep and Ishwar Singh, arrived at JKIA on August 10, 2026, and were cleared through Immigration at about 2:50 pm.
Investigations established that shortly after being cleared, the two walked out of the airport and were received by two men. The four then boarded a white Nissan Note and drove away.
Working on crucial investigative leads, detectives trailed them to a bungalow within Tumaini Estate, Nkoroi, in Kajiado South, where a search of the premises yielded a breakthrough.
Inside one of the bedrooms, detectives found the two missing Indian nationals bound at the hands and legs and visibly distressed.
Three Pakistani nationals found at the house, Shahzad Haroon, Tariq Muhammad Muneeb and Hassan Waqar, were immediately arrested.
Investigations further established that the suspects had contacted the victimsβ family members in India through WhatsApp and demanded a ransom of USD 32,000 for their release.
During the operation, detectives also recovered the victimsβ mobile phones, which had been hidden in a bush approximately two kilometres from the house.
The three suspects are in custody undergoing processing pending arraignment, as detectives continue piecing together the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping and pursuing further leads into a suspected kidnapping-for-ransom network.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations remains resolute in protecting all persons within Kenyaβs borders and will continue to pursue individuals involved in kidnapping, ransom-related crimes and other serious offences.
