India brings back 274 fugitives from 36 countries since 2019, says Centre
The Indian government has brought back 274 fugitives from 36 countries since 2019, with assets worth over Rs 17,874 crore being attached during this period. The move comes as part of the government's efforts to combat crime and terrorism. The government claims that the extradition push has been successful, with a significant number of fugitives being brought back. However, critics argue that the process is often lengthy and expensive. The government says it has updated legal frameworks and intensified diplomatic efforts to facilitate the return of fugitives.
