CBI Deports Two Red Notice Accused From UAE, Saudi Arabia

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has successfully secured the deportation of two individuals, Avinash Arjun Rathod and Muhammedali Kanneer Palliyalil, from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, respectively.

Rathod, who arrived in Mumbai on Thursday, is wanted in connection with a large-scale financial fraud case. He allegedly induced investors to invest in multiple schemes by falsely promising assured fixed monthly returns, and then misappropriated the funds.

The CBI, in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), worked to secure Rathod's deportation from the UAE. A Red Notice was previously issued against him through INTERPOL.

In a separate case, the CBI, along with the MEA, MHA, and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), secured the deportation of Palliyalil from Saudi Arabia. Palliyalil was wanted by the NIA for unlawful activities and murder.

Palliyalil and his associates allegedly assembled with deadly weapons, trespassed into a victim's shop, and inflicted grievous injuries, resulting in the victim's death. A Red Notice was issued against him through INTERPOL channels, and he was subsequently geo-located and arrested in Saudi Arabia.

Following an extradition request, Palliyalil was deported to India on Thursday. The successful deportation of these two individuals is a significant achievement for the CBI and demonstrates the agency's commitment to bringing fugitives to justice.

The CBI's efforts to secure the deportation of these individuals were made possible through coordination with international authorities and the use of INTERPOL's Red Notice system. This system allows for the international dissemination of information on wanted persons, facilitating cooperation between law enforcement agencies worldwide.

The deportation of Rathod and Palliyalil serves as a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in combating crime and bringing fugitives to justice. The CBI's success in these cases demonstrates its capabilities and commitment to addressing complex and transnational crimes.

The CBI will continue to work with international authorities to track down and deport fugitives, ensuring that those who commit crimes in India are held accountable, regardless of their location. This ongoing effort is crucial in maintaining public safety and upholding the rule of law in India.

In conclusion, the deportation of Avinash Arjun Rathod and Muhammedali Kanneer Palliyalil is a significant achievement for the CBI, highlighting the agency's commitment to combating crime and bringing fugitives to justice. The successful coordination with international authorities and the use of INTERPOL's Red Notice system demonstrate the importance of international cooperation in addressing complex and transnational crimes.
