Former vice-president of Star TV and former chief operating officer of Balaji Telefilms Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan, another person named Zaid Sami Kidwai, and their native driver Nicodemus Mwania has been missing in Kenya for 85 days. A local police complaint was made. On July 28, Zaid’s wife filed a lawsuit.
Arindam Bagchi, a spokesman for the MEA, stated in Delhi on October 14, “In a Kenyan court, a habeas corpus plea was submitted. The Kenyan high court is currently hearing arguments on the matter. Hearings have been held in numerous instances. The Kenyan government and our high commission have been in constant communication. We also communicate with some of our relatives. We are closely monitoring. They are still missing, I’m afraid.” Khan’s Kenyan attorney has charged state police with kidnapping Khan.
His family in Mumbai has asked Prime Minister Modi to help locate and bring him home. Khan’s sisters in the city, according to an unnamed friend, were in no condition to converse. We don’t know Zaid, but we’ve been informed that he’s Zulfiqar’s acquaintance, the man stated.
Khan quit his work in Mumbai in May, and in July, he traveled to Kenya. On his social media accounts, he shared vacation updates, including the most recent from the Masai Mara safari. His family lost communication with him on July 21; nonetheless, he was scheduled to return on July 24. On the evening of July 23, the three were allegedly last seen at a club in Westlands, Nairobi. “An unmarked automobile was taken away with them.” Allegedly, the car’s engine was still running and all the doors were open when it was discovered.
Colleagues in the media have started a search for Khan. According to Kenyan media reports, Khan and Kidwai were in the nation to join the information and communications technology team for President William Ruto’s election campaign.
According to The Star, the kidnapping may be a result of their support for Ruto’s reelection campaign in the areas of information and technology. The poll was subsequently won by Ruto.
