CBI Secures Deportation of Red Notice Fugitive Vishakha Rathod From UAE in Financial Fraud Case
On Monday, wanted fugitive Vishakha Rathod was deported from the United Arab Emirates to India, with the CBI facilitating her return in connection with an alleged large-scale financial fraud case.
APS Wealth Ventures allegedly defrauded investors between 2018 and 2023 by promising 5 per cent monthly returns on investments. The couple misappropriated funds through multiple schemes after initially providing returns to gain trust.
Following the investigation, a Red Notice was issued through Interpol against the couple after they fled India. The CBI, serving as the nodal agency for INTERPOL-related matters, coordinated with international authorities to secure their return.
Avinash Rathod was deported on July 23, with Vishakha following on Monday. Both are now in Maharashtra Police custody for further investigation, following inter-agency cooperation between the CBI, MEA, and MHA.
Authorities reiterated their commitment to pursuing fugitives who evade legal proceedings by moving abroad. This successful operation ensures individuals involved in serious economic offences face legal proceedings in India.
