India has repatriated 274 fugitives from 36 countries between 2019 and 2026, marking a significant increase from previous years. The Ministry of Home Affairs credits this to enhanced legal frameworks, international cooperation, technology-driven investigations, and coordinated agency efforts under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Charges against these fugitives include murder, terrorism, organized crime, and financial offenses. The government highlights asset attachments worth over Rs 17,800 crore and the issuance of numerous Interpol Red Notices as part of its intensified extradition strategy.
