A year on, family of Balaji's former COO awaits closure

More than a year after Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan, ex-COO of Balaji Telefilms, went missing while on a holiday trip to Nairobi, Kenya, his family is still awaiting closure.

Khan last spoke to his family on July 23, 2022, before disappearing.

Last week the Delhi High Court issued a notice to the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs asking them to file a status report about Khan’s whereabouts by coordinating with the Kenyan authorities.

The petition was filed by Khan’s sister, Anis Fatima Zachariah, who alleged that her brother has been detained in Kenya.
