Three Indians Kidnapped in Kenya Safely Repatriated

Three Indian nationals, who were rescued after being kidnapped in Kenya, have been safely repatriated from the East African country, the Indian mission in Nairobi said.

 "(The Indian) High Commission facilitated the rescue, safety and repatriation of three Indian nationals from Punjab kidnapped in Kenya recently," the mission said in a post on X on Thursday. 

The High Commission said it had worked with Kenyan authorities, in particular, the Directorate of Criminal



Investigations (DCI) for its "swift action and pro-active approach".

The DCI, in a post on X on Thursday, said the three Indians were kidnapped shortly after arriving at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and were rescued following "swift, intelligence-led investigations and coordinated efforts" by Kenyan authorities. The DCI had earlier said that its Operations Support Unit (OSU) arrested six suspects and rescued three Indian nationals in a suspected human trafficking case on August 11.
