Mystery surrounds fatal shooting of Indian man in Parklands

According to police reports, Panara, of Asian descent, was shot as he returned home from the Aga Khan Sports Club, raising the possibility that he was being followed.

He was driving a white Toyota Corolla when the attackers ambushed him at the entrance to his residential compound.

After a brief altercation, the assailants shot Panara in the neck, just below her right ear, and fled the scene.

Neighbours and police officers quickly responded to the gunshots, rushing Panara to Aga Khan Hospital, where he passed away while receiving emergency treatment.

Panara’s wife, Nejal Panara, confirmed that he had arrived moments after returning from the sports club. 

After sweeping the crime scene, investigators found six ominous leaflets left behind by the attackers at the scene.

The notes bore the message "VACATE NAROK LAND, ONE PANARA DOWN, AND NAROK," suggesting a possible link to a land dispute in the Narok region.

Police are also considering whether the Panara family’s possible ties to a piece of land in Narok could have triggered the violent attack.

The murder has rattled the Parklands neighbourhood and raised fears of escalating violence tied to land disputes.
