India’s security agencies have begun the biggest and most decisive crackdown ever against criminals and terrorists hiding abroad after committing crimes within the country. Taking a very important and high-profile step, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has officially launched the country’s new and state-of-the-art ‘Extradition Portal’. Through this advanced technological platform, a total of 288 notorious fugitives from 36 different countries across the world have been successfully brought back to India so far. This step taken under the ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy of the Modi government has created a stir among those fugitive economic criminals, drug smugglers and international terrorists of the country who had made the land of foreigners their refuge to escape from the grip of the law. Through this new portal and coordinated operations, it is now going to be impossible for anti-India forces and enemies of the country to hide in any corner of the world, which is expected to provide an impenetrable shield to national security.
The new extradition portal and its state-of-the-art technical features
This new extradition portal launched by the Government of India is not just a simple database, but it will work as a seamless digital bridge between all the central investigating agencies of the country, CBI, National Investigation Agency (NIA), Ministry of External Affairs and Interpol. Through this portal, real-time monitoring can be done on the progress of extradition requests, Red Corner Notices, legal documents and extradition treaties of fugitive criminals. Earlier, due to lack of paperwork and coordination between different departments, it would take months or years for files to be exchanged, now with the advent of this digital platform, paper delays will be completely eliminated and the legal process of bringing criminals to India will be expedited. This step of the Home Ministry has ensured that no power can stop a criminal who escapes from the clutches of Indian law and flees to any country in the world from standing in the dock of justice.
Return of 288 fugitives from 36 countries: Big victory for India’s diplomatic and investigative agencies
This is one of the biggest successes ever for Indian security agencies and on the diplomatic front, where a total of 288 fugitives from 36 different countries of the world have been brought back to Indian soil within the last few years. These criminals include many high-profile people who were taking refuge in foreign countries after being involved in multi-crore bank scams, money laundering, hawala business and anti-national terrorist activities. The Government of India has achieved historic success in extraditing all of them on the basis of its strong diplomatic treaties with friendly countries, Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties and precise coordination of intelligence agencies. Many of these terrorists and gangsters were carrying out target killings, drug syndicates and criminal conspiracies in India from foreign soil. The return of all these fugitives to their homeland has made it clear that the reach of the Indian justice system and security system has now become too long.
There will be a direct and decisive attack on terrorism and organized crime.
The main objective of this strict step taken by Home Minister Amit Shah is to completely secure the internal security of the country and to completely destroy the network of terrorism and organized crimes spreading across the border. Terrorists not only have guns, but they also have access to illegally acquired money and a strong network of global safe havens. Unless their financial sources and safe havens are eliminated, it is not possible to completely eliminate terrorism. With the launch of the new extradition portal, fugitives wanted in terrorism related cases will stop getting legal asylum in any country in the world. The message of the government is very clear that no criminal who plays with the security of the citizens of the country and the sovereignty of the country will be spared, no matter where in the world he is hiding.
India’s strengthening global position against global terrorism
In today’s time, when the whole world is facing serious challenges like terrorism, cyber crime and international financial fraud, this step of India is setting a strong example in front of the global community. India has been continuously demanding at international forums that strict collective action should be taken against countries harboring terrorists and fugitives. The new extradition portal further strengthens India’s technical and administrative commitment in this direction. Developed and developing countries of the world are now supporting this professional and technical stance of India. In the coming days, there is every possibility that many more big and notorious criminals will be brought to India through this portal, which will further strengthen the rule of law within the country and the confidence of common citizens in the security system will deepen.
