Yahya, born in Bengaluru, had cheated a couple of banks of Rs 46 lakh in 2003. CBI began
investigating the fraud in 2009 but Yahya had fled by then. After completion of probe, a

chargesheet was filed against him and he was declared a proclaimed offender by a special CBI
court.

The agency charged him for criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, impersonation and
forgery for taking a loan from public sector banks and “deliberately” not repaying it.

CBI refused to share more details about the banks cheated by him, his business and the purpose
of loan.

Sources told TOI that after Bahrain police caught him a few months back, his identity was
confirmed with the help of intelligence agencies and all relevant documents including

chargesheet, evidence and witness testimonies were shared to convince Bahrain that he needs to
be tried in India.

The government was directly involved in the whole process of Yahya’s deportation, people aware
of the mattersaid.

He was brought to Delhi via an Air India flight on Friday morning and has been taken to
Bengaluru for further interrogation.

Recently, the government had shared a list of 28 fugitive economic offenders including six
women who were living abroad. The investigating agencies are already pursuing extradition of

Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi, who have fled with amounts ranging from Rs 6,000 crore
to Rs 9,000 crore.
