INTERPOL Aids CBI in Return of Multi-Crore Scam Suspect to India

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has efficiently facilitated the extradition of Upavan Pavan Jain, a crucial suspect in a multi-crore scam originating from Gujarat, back to India. This was achieved with the support of INTERPOL and law enforcement officials in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

A statement released confirms the arrival of Jain, wanted by Gujarat Police for his role in elaborate forgery and impersonation tactics, back on Indian soil on June 20 following his deportation from Dubai. The International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of CBI, working in tandem with the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi, played a pivotal role in reconfirming Jain's whereabouts and orchestrating his successful return.

Jain is implicated in a case filed at Adajan Police Station, Surat. Allegations against him involve deceitful practices including personation, conspiracy, and forging valuable security documents. As a former real estate agent, Jain allegedly manipulated a complainant into property purchases using falsified documents, swindling an approximate Rs 3.66 crore. INTERPOL, responding to a Red Notice request initiated by Gujarat Police, helped ensure his apprehension in UAE, bridging international collaboration through CBI's strategic operations under Bharatiya Police System (BHARATPOL).
