“They were instead confined at Allianz Hotel in Bweyogerere till the 26/01/2020 when they were rescued as the suspects demanded $50,000 (over 180 million) from their families.”

This website has also learnt that one of the Indian families sent a member to Kampala who on arrival reported the matter to the Central Police Station in Kampala and the rescue mission kicked off leading to the arrest of the two suspects .

He asked the Indian community to help combat the criminal network by reporting to their country’s authorities for action to be taken while still in India.
