CBI brings back fake currency kingpin from UAE

CBI has succeeded in returning of proclaimed offender Moideenababa Ummer Beary from UAE through INTERPOL channels. The accused was wanted in a case related to counterfeiting Indian currency notes, cheating, and criminal conspiracy. The agency informed that he had procured high-quality fake Indian currency notes in Dubai and transported the same to Bangalore via Sharjah. It added that in collaboration with NCB-Abu Dhabi, the CBI team brought him back to India on Friday.Beary, who was wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a high-profile fake currency case, landed in Mumbai as a deportee.
Beary had been on the run for over a decade and was the subject of a Red Notice issued by Interpol at the request of the NIA since December 2013. The NIA had registered a case against him at its Kochi branch for allegedly procuring high-quality Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) from Dubai and smuggling them into India via Sharjah, with the consignment ultimately reaching Bengaluru. He faces charges of counterfeiting Indian currency, cheating, and criminal conspiracy. The CBI had been tracking Beary's movements and successfully geo-located him in the UAE with assistance from Interpol's global network. Following his arrest in the UAE, a formal extradition request was processed through the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs. More than 100 wanted criminals have been returned to India in recent years through its dedicated platform, BHARATPOL.
