CBI, INTERPOL, and UAE authorities collaborate to deport prime accused in ₹3.66 crore real estate fraud to Gujarat
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in coordination with INTERPOL and UAE law enforcement, has successfully brought back Upavan Pavan Jain—an accused in a multi-crore cheating and forgery case in Gujarat. Jain was deported from Dubai and landed at Ahmedabad International Airport on June 20, 2025, reported ndtv.com.
Jain was wanted by the Gujarat Police for allegedly orchestrating a real estate scam amounting to ₹3.66 crore. A Red Notice had been issued against him by INTERPOL on March 6, 2023, based on a request from the Gujarat Police. His location in the UAE was confirmed through coordinated efforts involving the CBI, INTERPOL, and the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi.
Accused of impersonation and document forgery in a ₹3.66 crore property scam, Upavan Jain has been deported from Dubai following a Red Notice issued by INTERPOL.
The charges against Jain stem from a case filed at Adajan Police Station in Surat. Working as a real estate agent, Jain allegedly conspired with accomplices to defraud a buyer by impersonating property owners using forged documents. Fake bank accounts were opened in the names of real owners to facilitate the transactions, leading to the misappropriation of ₹3.66 crore.
The Indian government, through the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), submitted an official extradition request following Jain’s arrest in the UAE. The International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of the CBI, acting as the National Central Bureau for INTERPOL in India, coordinated the deportation.
CBI noted that over 100 fugitives have been brought back to India in recent years through INTERPOL coordination under the BHARATPOL framework.
