Two Indian tourists and their local driver disappeared in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on a July night. More than two months after the incident, nine policemen have been arrested in connection with the case, which India says it is closely watching. In one of his last social media posts before he disappeared, Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan shared a video of a roaring lion in Kenya Maasai Mara game reserve where he had been holidaying. Magical mornings in Maasai Mara. Just imagine when the first encounter you have is with Simba. Breakfast anyone? he wrote in a typically cheerful post. The 48-year-old Indian media marketing professional had last worked as the chief operating officer of Balaji Telefilms, a Mumbai-based TV company.

Their son vanished - then an imposter took over for 41 years Mr Khan LinkedIn profile described him as a results-driven, people-focussed business leader with more than 19 years of experience in broadcast and digital media companies; and a  high energy, performance-driven coach, mentor and manager. His friends described him as a keen sportsman, a foodie, an avid traveller and explorer and a cricket lover. After quitting his job in June, Mr Khan had travelled in Kenya for a month. His Facebook and Instagram feeds were filled with pictures and videos of his time in the country: breakfasts in Nairobi, afternoons in game parks.

One of them was Rajiv Dubey, a Delhi-based marketing professional, who had known him for 24 years. He sounded very happy. He had spoken to some of his friends just days earlier and talked about wildlife at length and advised them to visit this lovely place,Mr Dubey said. Mr Khan told friends he would return home on 24 July and that he also wanted to come back to Kenya to witness the annual Great Migration - when more than a million wildebeest and herd animals migrate to the rolling grasslands of Maasai Mara. On the night of 22 July, Mr Khan vanished, along with another Indian man and a Kenyan driver.
