Two Indian nationals, Sandeep Sandeep and Ishwar Singh, were kidnapped at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on August 10, 2026, and subsequently rescued. Three Pakistani nationals, Shahzad Haroon, Tariq Muhammad Muneeb, and Hassan Waqar, were arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping-for-ransom operation. According to prosecutors, the suspects contacted the victims' family members in India via WhatsApp and demanded a ransom of USD 32,000 for the release of the Indian nationals.
After clearing immigration, the two Indians were taken hostage by two men who drove them away in a white Nissan Note. Law enforcement traced the suspects to a bungalow in Tumaini Estate, Nkoroi, Kajiado South, where they discovered the victims bound and arrested the three Pakistani nationals. The suspects' mobile phones were found hidden in a nearby bush.
The investigation is ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the kidnapping and to uncover a potential kidnapping-for-ransom network.
