As of now, the police have not received any contact from the suspected kidnappers, nor have they made any demands for ransom. The authorities are diligently investigating the claims, and a missing person report has been filed at the Kilimani Police Station in Nairobi.

Jaswant Singh Rai is a well-known figure in Kenya, being the owner of Raiply, Kabras Sugar, and the Uganda-based Sarrai Group. The motive behind this incident is still unknown, though some sources speculate that it may be linked to alleged business rivalry in the sugar industry.

This alarming report came to light when Rai’s vehicle was discovered abandoned in Kilimani. It was a member of the public who informed the Kilimani Sub-County police about the abandoned vehicle. Consequently, traffic police officers towed the vehicle to the police station for further investigation.
