Three Indian Nationals Kidnapped in Kenya Rescued and Repatriated
Three Indian nationals from Punjab were kidnapped shortly after arriving at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Kenya on August 5. They were held incommunicado at a house in Ruiru, Kiambu County, before being rescued on August 11 through coordinated efforts by Kenyan authorities and the Indian High Commission. Six suspects, including Indian, Pakistani, and Kenyan nationals, were arrested. Preliminary investigations suggest the suspects claimed to assist the victims in traveling to Italy via Ethiopia.
