Fugitive Abhay Rana Extradited From Portugal

Earlier, on May 10, India extended its appreciation to the Portuguese government and its police agencies for their "cooperation and support in the successful extradition" of Abhay Rana, a wanted fugitive, back to the country. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), working in tandem with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), facilitated the return of Abhay, also known as Abhay Rana, from Portugal.

The Government n emphasised that the "success of this operation was made possible through active and sustained coordination between the Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of Home Affairs, Haryana Police, the Embassy of India in Lisbon, and various law enforcement agencies of Portugal." This high-level cooperation is underpinned by a formal Extradition Treaty between New Delhi and Lisbon, ratified on January 11, 2007. The agreement provides a robust legal structure for the mutual transfer of wanted individuals while ensuring that judicial proceedings align with specific humanitarian safeguards. (ANI)
