Three men kidnapped in Nairobi rescued and repatriated to India
Three men from Punjab were kidnapped right after landing in Nairobi, Kenya, but have now made it home safely.
Thanks to quick action by the Indian High Commission and Kenyan authorities, particularly the DCI, they were rescued on August 11, 2026, and repatriated to India, was reported later in the High Commission's Thursday post.
Six suspects arrested after Nairobi kidnapping
The trio was taken from the airport on August 5, 2026, and tracked to a house near Nairobi.
By August 11, Kenyan detectives had rescued them and arrested six people: an Indian citizen, two Pakistanis, two Kenyans, and a Kenyan minor, who was allegedly working as house help.
The suspects claimed they were trying to help the men reach Italy via Ethiopia, highlighting how tricky international travel can get, and why global teamwork matters in cases like this.
