CBI Secures Deportation of Fugitive Udit Khullar from UAE in Rs. 4.5 Crore Bank Fraud Case.
New Delhi:
In a significant success for international law enforcement cooperation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has secured the deportation of fugitive Udit Khullar from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to India. Khullar, who was wanted by the Delhi Police in connection with a Rs. 4.55 crore bank fraud case, was brought back to India on August 1, 2025, via Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi.
The operation was coordinated through INTERPOL channels by the International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of the CBI in collaboration with the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi. Khullar had earlier been geo-located in the UAE following a persistent follow-up by CBI authorities using INTERPOL communications.
Udit Khullar is accused of criminal conspiracy, cheating, and forgery in a case registered at Adazan Police Station, Special Cell, Delhi. As per the investigation, Khullar, in collusion with co-accused, fraudulently acquired loans worth Rs. 4.55 crore from nationalized and private banks. He did so by submitting forged documents of properties which he falsely claimed ownership of. The fraudulent loans were issued under the guise of home loans for three different properties.
Following his arrest in the UAE, CBI formally requested deportation of the accused, which was granted by UAE authorities. Khullar returned as a deportee from Dubai and is now in the custody of Indian authorities for further legal proceedings.
As India’s National Central Bureau for INTERPOL, the CBI continues to play a pivotal role in bringing fugitives back to face justice. Over the past few years, more than 100 wanted criminals have been successfully returned to India through coordination via INTERPOL channels and domestic law enforcement agencies under the BHARATPOL framework.
The deportation of Udit Khullar highlights the increasing effectiveness of international police collaboration in tackling transnational financial crimes and ensuring accountability for economic offenders.
