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.

Truble For Anil Ambani: Troubles have increased for Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group, which is stuck in the bank loan fraud case. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has now started a new investigation amidst the already ongoing investigations by the central investigating agencies- ED, CBI and SEBI. The ministry has ordered an investigation into alleged misuse and misappropriation of funds in several group companies, such as Reliance Infrastructure, Reliance Communications, Reliance Commercial Finance and CLE Private Limited.

According to reports, the ministry’s preliminary investigation has indicated serious irregularities and large-scale embezzlement of funds under the Companies Act. On this basis, the case has now been handed over to the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO).

Investigation handed over to SFIO

The SFIO will now find out between which units of the group the funds were transferred, how the money flowed, and who had the role at the senior management level. Action will be taken after the investigation is completed. This step has come at a time when ED has intensified action against debt-ridden Reliance Group companies.

Earlier this week, the agency seized assets worth about Rs 7,500 crore of Reliance Group. These include 30 properties of Reliance Infrastructure and properties belonging to Adhar Property Consultancy, Mohanbir Hi-tech Build, Gamesa Investment Management, Vihaan43 Realty and Campion Properties. According to the ED, these attachments relate to the multi-crore bank fraud case involving Reliance Infrastructure.

Investigation on loan worth Rs 40,000 crore

The ED case focuses on loans taken by Reliance Communications (RCOM) and its affiliates between 2010 and 2012. According to the agency, the total outstanding is Rs 40,185 crore and five banks have declared these loan accounts as ‘fraud’.

Investigators say these funds were diverted to other group units, sent to related companies and used to repay old loans – a violation of loan terms. ED alleged that the money raised for business operations was used for “evergreening of debt” i.e. repaying old loans by taking new loans.

ED has said in its statement that between 2010 and 2012, RCom and its group companies collected thousands of crores of rupees from banks, out of which Rs 19,694 crores are still outstanding. These accounts have become NPA and five banks have declared them fraud.
