India has brought back 274 fugitive criminals from 36 countries since 2021, the Centre said on Tuesday. The government said the returns were made through extradition, deportation and other legal processes. It said better coordination between Indian agencies and foreign governments helped speed up the efforts. The Centre also said the use of technology has improved the process of tracing and bringing back wanted criminals. According to the government, the number of fugitives returned has increased sharply in recent years. Officials said stronger international cooperation and faster action by different agencies have helped India bring more wanted people back to face legal proceedings. (PC: The Indian Express)
