In a significant development, Moideenabba Ummer Beary, a fugitive with a 12-year-old Interpol red notice, was successfully deported by the UAE back to India on Friday. This operation was meticulously coordinated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), officials confirmed.
Beary, who was wanted by the NIA’s Kochi unit, landed at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. His extradition from Dubai marked the culmination of a focused international effort spearheaded by Interpol, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
His crimes date back to a case involving high-quality Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs). Beary is accused of procuring and distributing counterfeit currency, orchestrating a network that involved the transport of FICNs from Dubai to Bengaluru via Sharjah.
