The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs, secured the deportation of Vishakha Rathod from the UAE to India on August 3. Rathod and her husband Avinash are accused of orchestrating an Rs 88-crore investment fraud through APS Wealth Ventures, promising fixed monthly returns and misappropriating investor funds. Both were subject to Interpol Red Notices and taken into custody by Maharashtra Police for further investigation. Avinash was deported earlier on July 23.
