MHA Urges Timely Extradition Requests and Jail Upgrades to Meet Global Standards
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has directed states and Union Territories to expedite extradition requests for fugitives abroad, warning that delays by state police and investigating agencies can jeopardize India's efforts to repatriate them. Since 2021, India has brought back 274 fugitives from 36 countries. The MHA also instructed authorities to upgrade central jail facilities to meet international standards. These measures follow a recent meeting reviewing extradition processes and prison compliance.
