“The subject was arrested during the course of investigation; however, after being granted bail by the Court, he absconded and fled from India to evade legal proceedings,” officials said.

On the request of Haryana Police, the NCB-New Delhi earlier got a Red Notice published against the gangster via INTERPOL channels. “After the subject was geo-located and arrested by the Georgian authorities, an extradition request was submitted to them. Following due legal process, the Georgian authorities granted the extradition of the subject to India, CBI officials said.

While coordinating with the local authorities, an escort team of the Haryana Police visited Georgia and took the accused into custody. The team arrived in New Delhi on Thursday.

“The CBI, as the National Central Bureau for INTERPOL in India, coordinates with all Law Enforcement Agencies in India through BHARATPOL for assistance via INTERPOL channels,” officials said.

Meanwhile, investigators have highlighted that more than 160 wanted criminals have been successfully brought back to India over the pas few years via coordination between different agencies, according to IANS.
