Interpol Issues Red Notice for Rishabh Baisoya in ₹13,000-Crore Cocaine Case

The notice equips investigators to seek provisional detention overseas pending extradition, reflecting Delhi Police's shift to a trial in absentia.

Overview

  • Delhi Police’s Special Cell says Baisoya, declared a proclaimed offender, is believed to be hiding in the Middle East.
  • A chargesheet has been filed under the NDPS Act, and prosecutors have asked the court to proceed under BNSS trial-in-absentia provisions after the statutory period.
  • Officials stress the Red Notice is not an arrest warrant but can curb travel, aid asset freezes and speed extradition steps.
  • Investigators allege the cartel moved cocaine from South America via Dubai, with coordination from Pakistan and Dubai and members in Thailand, Malaysia and the UK.
  • Police detail concealment in cardboard boxes with clothes or namkeen, Google Map drops and sales at concerts and raves, with CCTV and a seized SUV linking Baisoya to a co-accused.
