Agents from the DCI banking fraud unit on Monday 28th August arrested Victoria Bank CEO Yogesh Pattni.
This event comes a few days after the daylight abduction of Jaswant Rai, chairman of Kabras Sugar Company. Jaswant was released on August 27th 2023.
Albeit the two events are unrelated, concerns have begun to form over arrests & kidnappings of the Kenyan society’s top cream individuals.
Sources within the DCI, who were informed about the arrest of Yogesh Pattni, did not disclose the reasons for it.

However, they did inform the public that the tycoon, who owns a private bank, was detained for questioning.
Reportedly, Yogesh Pattni was nabbed and taken to DCI Headquarters on Kiambu Road for grilling at about 6:00 a.m. It is not clear whether they took him from his home or while on his way to work.
It is highly suspected that Pattni was arrested on accounts of money laundering. The CEO is linked to Jaswant Rai, the Kabras Sugar billionaire who owns 40% of Victoria Commercial Bank via proxies.
