Two Financial Fraud Fugitives Deported to India After Interpol Coordination

Janarthanan Sundaram and Virendrabhai Patel, accused in multi-crore fraud cases, were returned from Thailand and the US following CBI-led efforts.

Janarthanan Sundaram, accused of defrauding investors of over ₹87 crore in Tamil Nadu, was deported from Bangkok to Kolkata and handed over to Tamil Nadu Police.
Sundaram faced charges including criminal conspiracy, cheating, and violations under the Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Act, 2019.
Virendrabhai Manibhai Patel, wanted for a ₹77 crore fraud in Gujarat since 2002, was detained at Ahmedabad airport upon his arrival from the US.
Patel, the former director of Charotar Nagrik Sahakari Bank, was accused of cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy in connection with the bank's operations.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), acting as India's Interpol liaison, coordinated closely with international and domestic authorities to secure the fugitives' return.
