CBI Brings Back Two Fugitive Criminals from Thailand & Georgia

Thailand Has Brought Back Cybercrime Accused from Charges of Cybercrime Against It. Ganesh Balaso Kale, one of the accused, was wanted in a big cyber fraud case. Investigators said he was behind online scam networks, which he said were operating an online scam network that deceived other innocent people about opportunities with fake job offers for them.

How the cyber scam worked. The accused and his network reportedly:

Promised victims easy “part-time work online”. Encouraged to deposit money. Defrauded them after they collected funds 

Leveraged bogus bank accounts to transport illegal money

The CBI also alleged that Kale’s network utilized: 

Fake SIM cards. Multiple mobile phones. And bank accounts held by uninformed people. These ways enabled the accused to conceal and direct cybercrime operations around the world using the cover of the internet.

Apprehension and deportation from Thailand. Following the appearance of an INTERPOL Red Notice in May 2026, Indian agencies found Kale in Thailand. He was arrested and held on May 24 by Thai authorities in Bangkok. Under a combination of legal proceedings and co-operation between India and Thailand, he was deported to India on June 10th. He came to Mumbai on June 11 and he was arrested

by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell. Officials emphasized that this process encompassed everything from Red Notice issued to return in close to 20 days, demonstrating rapid international collaboration.

Gangster Extradited from Georgia. On a separate operation, the CBI held Vainket Garg, a wanted Haryana gangster, in extradition.

Serious criminal charges for Garg. He was sought by Haryana Police in multiple criminal cases, including:

Murder. Attempt to murder. Extortion. Organized crime activities. Illegal weapon use. He was also part of a criminal network engaging in violent crimes, according to authorities.

How he escaped India. Garg was arrested at the time of investigation, according to officials but escaped after he secured bail. He subsequently left India to evade trial.

The Red Notice and international tracking. Upon Haryana Police demanding assistance, INTERPOL issued a Red Notice against him via its National Central Bureau in New Delhi. Georgian officials later arrested him and discovered him on a run of a search in India. India subsequently made a formal extradition request. The authorities approved the request after legal proceedings in Georgia and returned Garg to an Indian police escort team. Garg was returned to Delhi on June 11 and handed over to Haryana Police for further investigation.

CBI’s Strong International Action Against Fugitives. The CBI said the two operations fall under a broader global crackdown on fugitives. More than 160 of the foreign-arrested criminals have in recent years been brought back to India again under similar international coordination, the agency said. These operations often include:

CBI. Ministry of Home Affairs. Ministry of External Affairs. State Police units. INTERPOL. Foreign law enforcement agencies. That kind of cooperation is a good way to pursue criminals who seek refuge to escape Indian law in other countries.

Why These Operations Are Important. This latest move highlights how India is putting more pressure on fugitives seeking an escape to international justice. Thanks to worldwide policing systems such as INTERPOL, law enforcement can now track and arrest and return offenders at speed. Cybercrime and organized crime networks are becoming more global, according to officials, so international cooperation is essential.

Conclusion. The case of Ganesh Balaso Kale from Thailand and Vainket Garg from Georgia indicates that escaping Indian law is difficult in most cases. Through swift action, international coordination and Red Notice alerts, Indian authorities are tightening the net in search of fugitives in every part of the world.
