Two Indian nationals kidnapped on arrival at JKIA rescued in Kajiado

The victims, identified as Sandeep Sandeep and Ishwar Singh, arrived at JKIA on August 10, 2026, and cleared immigration at about 2:50 p.m.

Investigations indicate that the two were met by two men shortly after leaving the airport. The four reportedly boarded a white Nissan Note and drove away.

Detectives, acting on intelligence leads, traced the vehicle to a bungalow in Tumaini Estate, Nkoroi, Kajiado South, where they found the two victims bound and in distress inside a bedroom.

Three Pakistani nationals found at the premises — Shahzad Haroon, Tariq Muhammad Muneeb and Hassan Waqar — were arrested.

Police say preliminary investigations indicate the suspects contacted the victims’ relatives in India through WhatsApp and demanded a $32,000 (Ksh.4.1 million) ransom for their release.

Detectives also recovered the victims’ mobile phones from a bush about two kilometres from the house.

The three suspects remain in custody pending arraignment as investigations continue into the circumstances of the kidnapping and possible links to a wider kidnapping-for-ransom network.
