CBI brings back fugitive Moideenabba Ummer Beary from UAE in fake currency case
NEW DELHI: In a significant breakthrough after over a decade, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has successfully facilitated the return of Moideenabba Ummer Beary, who was wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a high-profile fake currency case, from the United Arab Emirates, officials said on Friday. Beary landed in Mumbai on Friday as a deportee, they said, adding that the International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of the CBI, in close coordination with the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi, ensured his return through INTERPOL channels. 'Beary had been on the run for over a decade and was the subject of a Red Notice issued by INTERPOL at the request of the NIA since December 2013. The NIA had registered a case against him at its Kochi branch for allegedly procuring high-quality Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) from Dubai and smuggling them into India via Sharjah, with the consignment ultimately reaching Bengaluru,' a senior CBI official said. The NIA, in its charge sheet in connection with the case, has accused him of counterfeiting Indian currency, cheating, and criminal conspiracy. The CBI had been tracking Beary's movements and successfully geo-located him in the UAE with assistance from INTERPOL's global network, the officials said, adding that following his arrest in the UAE, a formal extradition request was processed through the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs. Red Notices, circulated globally by INTERPOL, play a critical role in locating and apprehending fugitives. The CBI, as India's designated INTERPOL liaison (NCB-India), has been instrumental in returning over 100 wanted individuals to India in recent years through its dedicated platform, BHARATPOL.

Delhi Court Allows Extradition Of Man For Trial In Rape Case In Scotland
New Delhi: A Delhi Court has allowed the extradition of a fugitive to stand trial in Scotland for sexual assault, rape and communicating indecently. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Pranav Joshi was hearing the matter over the Centre's December 2024 order appointing and requesting the court to inquire into the extradition request by determining whether a prima facie case was made out against the fugitive criminal (FC) Naijil Paul. In an order dated June 9, the court said, "Union of India is requested to extradite the FC Naijil Paul to the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for standing trial of the indictment charges against the FC before the High Court of Judiciary at Glasgow, Scotland through diplomatic channel." Till formalities of extradition were complete, Paul would remain in Tihar prison, it added. To avoid criminal prosecution in the UK, Paul fled to India but was arrested from Kochi in Kerala and brought to the national capital. According to the Centre's order, the United Kingdom government submitted a request for Paul's extradition, who was "wanted to stand trial in connection with the offences allegedly committed in Scotland" for sexual assault, communicating indecently among other offences. "Similar conduct under Indian laws amount to offence under Section 63 (rape), Section 74 (sexual assault), Section 75 (sexual harassment), Section 79 (word, gesture to act to outrage the modesty of a woman) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita which are punishable with more than one year imprisonment," it said.

New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): Union Minister and BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla regarding the attack on him in the Budge Budge area of Diamond Harbour of Kolkata. Majumdar alleged that the attack was carried out by 'TMC-backed' criminal mobs. Sukanta Majumdar alleged that the West Bengal police had not taken any action and were 'mute.' Taking on 'X', the BJP MP informed about the development and asserted that the West Bengal police failed to take any preventive action despite clear signs of escalating tension. 'Yesterday in Budge Budge, Diamond Harbour, by TMC-backed criminal mobs, while the West Bengal police stood as mute, spineless spectators. The police not only failed to act during the violence--they also failed to take any preventive action, despite clear signs of escalating tension. Even when a Union Minister of State and sitting Member of Parliament was targeted, the state machinery looked the other way. This is a grave breach of parliamentary privilege--a direct and dangerous assault on Indian democracy. Today, I have formally apprised Speaker Om Birla of this shocking breakdown of law and order in West Bengal', Sukanta Majumdar's 'X' post read. Earlier on Thursday, Sukanta Majumdar alleged that stones and shoes were thrown at him by Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers during his visit to Budge Budge when he was returning after meeting an injured BJP worker. 'I will inform the Home Ministry about this entire situation. They are doing such acts to destroy democracy. Bricks, stones, shoes were thrown at me. TMC sponsors the entire demonstration... Most of them must be people from Bangladesh who are doing hooliganism here,' Union Minister Majumdar said. He further said that police were inactive and did not take any action against the miscreants. 'Yesterday our workers participated in an all-party meeting where they were invited by the Block Development were abducted, beaten workers of our party have been brutally is no law and order in the state. Police is not doing anything. They were doing nothing. They should have dispersed the rioters,' he said. (ANI)
