Indian nationals Zulfiqar Khan, a former chief operating officer of Balaji Telefilms, and Mohammed Zaid Sami went missing there on July 21. Kenyan authorities have pledged to launch a prompt investigation into their whereabouts.
In a statement, Kenya’s public prosecutions director Noordin M Haji said an inquiry report will be submitted as soon as possible. It maintained Khan and Sami remained missing.
The external affairs ministry on Monday said the government was in touch with Kenya and has requested the investigation be expedited. It said the Indian high commissioner in Kenya Namgya Khampa met President William Samoei Ruto to convey India’s concern and to request the expediting of the investigation.

A post written by Dennis Itumbi, a digital strategist who worked on Ruto’s election campaign, generated rumours regarding Khan and Sami’s passing. Khan, according to Itumbi, was a member of the campaign staff. Both nations’ governments still refer to the two as being missing.
Khan’s family has insisted that rumours about his death and the fact that he worked for Ruto was false.
He was on vacation, it added, in Kenya.
