Overview
- Both fugitives arrived in India on June 11, 2026 after separate CBI‑coordinated operations that returned one man from Georgia and the other from Thailand.
- Vainket (Venkat) Garg was extradited from Georgia and handed to Haryana police to face dozens of cases including murder, extortion and illegal arms charges after investigators say he fled on a fraudulent passport.
- Ganesh Balaso Kale was detained in Bangkok on May 24 after an INTERPOL Red Notice and deported to Mumbai within about 20 days of the notice, where Maharashtra Police’s cyber cell took him into custody.
- Officials say the two operations used formal extradition or deportation requests routed through the CBI as India’s INTERPOL focal point together with the MEA, MHA and the relevant foreign authorities.
- Authorities will now interrogate both men, produce them in Indian courts and probe their wider networks, including alleged use of mule bank accounts, fake SIMs and links to organised‑crime groups that investigators say enabled cross‑border crime.
