The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), acting as India’s National Central Bureau (NCB) for INTERPOL, successfully coordinated the deportation of three INTERPOL Red Notice subjects from India to Malaysia. Those deported individuals are Sridharan Subramaniam, Pratifkumar Selvaraj, and Navindren Raj Cumarason. The deportation took place on January 27 through established INTERPOL cooperation mechanisms in close coordination with NCB-Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysian authorities sought the deportation of these three individuals due to their alleged involvement in organised criminal activities with the intent to commit serious crimes for material benefit, power, or influence. NCB-Kuala Lumpur informed NCB-New Delhi that the Red Notice subjects were denied entry into India by immigration authorities upon their arrival from the United Kingdom at Mumbai International Airport. Subsequently, Malaysian authorities requested India’s assistance for their deportation to Malaysia for legal proceedings.
In response to the request, an escort team from the Royal Malaysia Police arrived in Mumbai on January 25. With coordination and facilitation from NCB-New Delhi, along with support from Indian immigration and other relevant agencies, the Malaysian escort team safely escorted the three accused back to Malaysia. The successful operation underscores the strong bilateral cooperation in law enforcement between India and Malaysia and showcases the effectiveness of INTERPOL channels in combating transnational and organised crime.
The CBI emphasized that INTERPOL Red Notices play a vital role in international police cooperation by helping law enforcement agencies worldwide in locating, detaining, and lawfully returning fugitives in compliance with national laws and due process.
