Once again the agencies have achieved great success in catching fugitive criminals who have fled the country and fled abroad. Taking major action, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has succeeded in bringing back fugitive Jagdish Punetha, who was hiding in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to India. Punetha was caught and brought back to India on Thursday (November 13, 2025) with the help of Interpol channels and UAE officials.
Let us tell you that Uttarakhand Police had registered a case of fraud and criminal conspiracy against Jagdish Punetha in Pithoragarh police station in 2021. After the case was registered, the accused Punetha had fled to UAE. On the request of Uttarakhand Police, the Central Investigation Agency had issued a red notice from Interpol on 6 May 2025.
CBI and UAE officials worked together
After the issue of red notice, CBI remained in constant touch with UAE officials and Punetha was tracked in collaboration with them. UAE police caught Jagdish Punetha and then CBI coordinated the entire process of bringing him to India. Let us tell you that a team of Uttarakhand Police also went to UAE and reached Delhi with him on 13 November.
What is red notice and how does it work?
Red Notice is an international alert of Interpol, which is sent to police agencies around the world. This notice helps a lot in catching criminals hiding in any country. In India, CBI is the national agency of Interpol and sends information related to Interpol to agencies across the country through the BHARATPOL system. With the coordination of CBI and Interpol, more than 150 fugitive criminals have been brought back to India in the last few years. In this context, the return of Jagdish Punetha back to India is being considered a big success for the central agency.
