The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has successfully extradited Upavan Pavan Jain, wanted in a Rs 3.66 crore fraud case in Gujarat, from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through coordinated efforts with INTERPOL and UAE authorities. Jain arrived at Ahmedabad International Airport on June 20, 2025, after being deported from Dubai.

The CBI's International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU), in collaboration with the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi, played a crucial role in locating and facilitating Jain's return. A Red Notice had been issued against Jain by INTERPOL on March 6, 2023, based on a request from the Gujarat Police. Red Notices are international alerts circulated to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest individuals pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.

Jain is accused of several offenses, including cheating by personation, dishonest inducement for delivery of property, forgery of valuable security, and criminal conspiracy, as per the case registered at Adajan Police Station in Surat, Gujarat. The investigation revealed that Jain, working as a real estate agent, allegedly showed four properties to the complainant and fraudulently convinced him to purchase them. He then conspired with accomplices to impersonate the real property owners using forged identity documents. These documents were used to open bank accounts in the names of the actual owners, and the complainant was subsequently defrauded of ₹3.66 crore.

After fleeing India, Jain was located in the UAE through close coordination between the CBI and INTERPOL's NCB-Abu Dhabi. Following his arrest in the UAE, Indian authorities submitted a formal extradition request through the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

In a separate case, the CBI also coordinated the deportation of Moideenabba Ummer Beary from the UAE through INTERPOL channels. Beary was wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with a case of counterfeiting Indian currency notes, cheating, and criminal conspiracy. He is accused of procuring high-quality Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in Dubai and transporting them to Bangalore via Sharjah. A Red Notice was issued against Beary on December 30, 2013, and he was eventually located and arrested in the UAE. He arrived in Mumbai as a deportee on June 20, 2025.

These successful extraditions and deportations highlight the CBI's growing effectiveness in tackling transnational crime through international cooperation. The CBI, as the National Central Bureau for INTERPOL in India, coordinates with all law enforcement agencies in India through BHARATPOL, ensuring seamless assistance via INTERPOL channels. In recent years, the CBI has successfully coordinated the return of over 100 wanted criminals to India through INTERPOL mechanisms.
