The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), with assistance from INTERPOL and law enforcement authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has successfully secured the return of Upavan Pavan Jain, a key accused in a multi-crore cheating and forgery case registered in Gujarat.
According to an official statement, Jain, who was wanted by Gujarat Police in connection with a high-value real estate fraud, was deported from Dubai and landed in India on June 20.

The International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of the CBI, in coordination with the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi, tracked down Jain's location in the UAE and facilitated his return. The Red Notice subject was returned to India on June 20, following his deportation from Dubai.
