Overview
- CBI, working with the foreign and home ministries, brought back Kamlesh Parekh and Aalok Kumar on Friday after UAE authorities approved extradition.
- Parekh is accused in a ₹2,672 crore fraud tied to Shree Ganesh Jewellery House and a 25‑bank SBI‑led consortium, with actions against him escalating from a 2019 warrant to a 2022 chargesheet and a Red Notice that led to his detention in the UAE.
- Aalok Kumar, also known as Yashpal Singh, is accused of running a passport‑forgery racket that used fake identities and documents to obtain Indian passports, and he is now in Haryana Police custody after arriving in Mumbai.
- Both men were traced through Interpol Red Notices, which alert police worldwide to locate and detain wanted suspects, and the UAE handed them over after India completed the required legal requests.
- CBI says more than 150 wanted people have been returned to India in recent years through such cooperation, and the two cases now move to court remands and further investigation that could advance accountability and recovery efforts.
