Top sources in government and CBI claimed that the fugitive, Mohammad Yahya, 47, was traced

and arrested by Bahrain authorities few months back on the basis of an Interpol red notice issued
against him on India’s request.

Following the arrest, the government engaged at the highest levels with Bahrain convincing it to
deport Yahya to India.

NEW DELHI: In a major victory for Indian government against fugitive economic offenders’, a
CBI team recently flew to Bahrain and brought a fraudster back to India nine years after he fled

from here.

Top sources in government and CBI claimed that the fugitive, Mohammad Yahya, 47, was traced
and arrested by Bahrain authorities few months back on the basis of an Interpol red notice issued
against him on India’s request.

Following the arrest, the government engaged at the highest levels with Bahrain convincing it to

deport Yahya to India.

This is the first ever instance of India managing to bring an economic offender back since
government stepped up its efforts to nail such fraudsters and passing of new law in August under

which legal action can be taken in foreign countries as well.
Although Yahya’s loot wasn’t as big as others accused in big-ticket bank frauds like Vijay

Mallya, Nirav Modi,Mehul Choksi, Jatin Mehta, Nitin Sandesara and others, and is not even
covered under fugitive economic offenders’ act, 2018 recently passed by the Parliament, the

deportation shows government’s seriousness in extraditing and prosecuting all such persons who
have fled even with “five rupees of public money”, said a senior government official.
