Two Indian citizens, Sandeep Sandeep and Ishwar Singh, were rescued from kidnappers at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Friday, August 14, 2026, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The victims arrived at the airport on August 10, 2026, and were cleared through immigration at approximately 2:50pm.
The DCI's Operation Support Unit (OSU) conducted an intelligence-led operation, rescuing the men and arresting three Pakistani nationals suspected of holding them captive. The victims were discovered inside a bedroom at a bungalow in Tumaini Estate, Nkoroi, Kajiado South, where they had been bound and distressed. The three suspects were taken into custody in connection with the kidnapping.
The DCI suspects the case may be linked to a broader kidnapping-for-ransom network, and continues to investigate the incident.
