Indian Fugitive In Bank Fraud Case Deported From UAE, Brought To Delhi
In a major breakthrough, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has secured the deportation of fugitive Udit Khullar from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in connection with a Rs 4.55 crore bank fraud case.
Mr Khullar was brought to Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport today, following coordinated efforts between the CBI and UAE authorities through Interpol channels.
Wanted by the Delhi Police's Special Cell, Mr Khullar had been on the run ever since allegations of criminal conspiracy, cheating and forgery against him came up.
Investigators said Mr Khullar and his associates took three home loans by submitting fake property documents to both public and private sector banks.
The properties, which were used as collateral, were not owned by Mr Khullar, causing losses of over Rs 4.5 crore to the banks.
The CBI's International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU), working in close coordination with the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi, tracked Mr Khullar's location in the UAE.
He was arrested and subsequently deported to India after a formal request was sent by the CBI.
The CBI, which serves as India's NCB for Interpol, has intensified crackdown on financial fugitives hiding abroad.
Over 100 such criminals have been brought back to India in recent years through proactive coordination via Interpol and the Bharatpol framework.
This successful deportation reinforces India's commitment to holding economic offenders accountable, regardless of their location, officials said.

Indian Army makes big defence deal, will buy 212 tank transporter trailers that will enhance military operational capability
(Image: ANI) New Delhi: The Indian Army on Friday, 1 August, signed an agreement of Rs 223.95 crore with Axiscades Aerospace and Technologies Private Limited. Under this, 212 state-of-the-art 50-tonne tank transporter trailers will be purchased. This deal is an important step towards increasing the operational mobility capability of the army and supporting the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan. This agreement was signed under the Indian-IDDM category. This agreement gives priority to indigenous design, development and manufacturing. This will strengthen self-reliance in the defence sector. These trailers are equipped with hydraulic/pneumatic ramps and steerable and liftable axles. These will make it easier to transport tanks and armoured vehicles to difficult areas. These trailers will add to the operational strength of the army and greatly enhance the logistics and operational capabilities of the army, and will act as a force multiplier. This deal will boost the indigenous defence manufacturing sector and will also create permanent employment opportunities. This is a sign of strong preparation for future challenges. Earlier, the Indian Army conducted the high-tech Divya Drishti exercise in Sikkim on 28 July. The exercise, conducted in the high-altitude areas of East Sikkim, tested new technologies designed to improve battlefield awareness, real-time surveillance and quick decision-making. The soldiers of the Tri Shakti Corps used a combination of ground-based systems and aerial platforms, including UAVs and drones, to execute real scenarios. Its special feature was the use of AI sensors. These sensors were connected to advanced communication systems. This arrangement ensured smooth and secure data flow between the command centres and helped in increasing situational awareness as well as making accurate decisions, i.e. a strong sensor-to-shooter link was created.

My statement on terrorism and religion deliberately misinterpreted: Prithviraj Chavan
'Everyone has the right to protest, but the real issue must be understood. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is a central agency. The probe into the 2008 blast case has been ongoing since 2014. The court has ruled there was a blast, but did not identify the perpetrators due to lack of sufficient evidence,' he said. Chavan was speaking at a press conference after the Shiv Sena earlier in the day protested against his comments after the seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case were acquitted by a Mumbai court two days ago. Karad, Aug 2 (PTI) Senior Congress leader and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday said his recent remark that 'terrorism has no caste, religion or colour' was deliberately misinterpreted for political gain. His statement was distorted to divert attention from core issues and create a political controversy, Chavan said. 'My words were twisted. I had said terrorism knows no religion, yet it was used to play politics,' he added. Chavan also questioned the government's failure to bring the culprits of the 2008 Malegaon blast to justice, stating, 'This was a serious terror act. Innocent lives were lost. If there is concrete evidence, punishment should be delivered. If not, why is the system failing to deliver justice?' The case, initially probed by the Anti-Terrorism Squad of Maharashtra Police, was later transferred to the National Investigation Agency, he said. 'Despite years of investigation, the real perpetrators remain unidentified. There is a need to investigate whether political pressure influenced the probe,' he said. Criticising the BJP-led state government, Chavan said, 'Industrial investment is declining in Maharashtra. In Beed, an extortion-related murder occurred over failure to pay Rs 2 crore. Even in Pune, industries are facing extortion threats.' He further claimed that extortion activities were flourishing under political patronage. 'Only the Chief Minister and Deputy CM can effectively act against such elements. No gangster can operate fearlessly without political backing,' he said. In his reaction to the judgement in the Malegaon blast case on Thursday, Chavan had said he was against the use of the term 'saffron terror' as saffron is the colour of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's flag and Warkari sect. While the BJP and several right-wing outfits latched on to the verdict to slam the Congress for allegedly coining the term 'bhagwa aatankwad' or saffron terror, Chavan had asserted that 'a terrorist who kills innocent persons has no religion'. On the use of the 'Hindu terror' term with regard to the Malegaon blast and the ensuing trial, Chavan had asked which religion the accused belonged to. 'The first act of terror was the murder of Mahatma Gandhi. Which religion did (the Mahatma's assassin) Nathuram Godse belong to,' the senior Congress leader had questioned.
