Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday asked for special jails in every state and Union Territory that meet international standards so as to ease the extradition of fugitives, and also recommended revoking passports of fugitives as soon as Interpol red notices are published against them.

He also suggested creating a national database of fugitives and a special cell of the police in every state and UT to deal with extradition cases.
He was addressing the opening session of a two-day conference on “extradition of fugitives: challenges and strategies”, organised by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), at Bharat Mandapam, where central and state agencies are discussing various aspects of tracing fugitives and bringing them back to India.
HT had reported on October 13 that such a multi-agency conference for fugitives and extraditions is being organised.
