Extraditions, Interpol notice key themes of CBI's strategy meet

NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will organise a first-of-its-kind “strategy conference” next week where top officials from various central and state agencies will brainstorm on a host of issues, including ways to increase Interpol red notices against fugitives, coordinate efforts to track them on foreign soil and multiply the extradition numbers, which are currently abysmal, according to highly placed government officials.

Senior brass of several agencies, including CBI, Enforcement Directorate (ED), National Investigation Agency (NIA), Intelligence Bureau (IB), ministry of home affairs (MHA) and ministry of external affairs (MEA) will deliberate if dedicated teams under different subheads could be created for locating and extraditing different kinds of fugitives, the officials said.
