The brother of Indian TV magnate Zulfiqar Khan, who went missing in Kenya in July, was finally invited by the Kenya police to identify possible items that might belong to his brother.
In an interview with an Indian media outlet, Hindustan Times, the brother, Iftikhar Khan, noted that he was invited after some clothes, a belt and shoes were found in line with the executive's disappearance.
He further revealed that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) restored hope that they had not collected any evidence that hinted Zulfiqar could have been killed.
Upon inspection of the collected items, Iftikhar noted that none of the recovered items belonged to his brother.
“The Kenyan police clearly stated that they had absolutely no evidence to conclude that Zulfiqar is no longer with us. The Indian High Commissioner insisted that the investigation be conducted purely based on evidence and the police agreed.
"They then took us to see the clothes, belt and shoes recovered during their search operation. I examined every item and submitted a signed letter stating that not a single item belongs to Zulfiqar,” stated the brother.
He further disclosed that Zulfiqar had traveled to Kenya to unwind shortly after quitting his media job while contemplating founding his own venture.
He went missing just days before his planned departure to Dubai to join Iftikhar before returning to his motherland in India.
Reports claim that Zulfiqar was abducted for assisting then Deputy President William Ruto win the race to the Presidency.
The brother, however, refuted that the TV magnate was interested in Kenyan politics.
“Zulfiqar never had anything to do with politics. The Masai Mara wildlife reserve was his only hook and we were planning to visit the place with the entire family in September, to watch the great migration.
“We are confident that both governments are working hard and will bring both men back safe and sound soon," clarified Iftikhar.
So far, nine individuals have been arrested in line with the disappearance linked to the disbanded Special Service Unit attached to the DCI.
