CBI extradites ₹3.66 crore fraud accused wanted by Gujarat Police from Dubai

Ahmedabad: A man wanted in a ₹3.66 crore fraud case has been deported to India from the UAE following a coordinated operation involving Gujarat Police, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Interpol, officials said on Saturday.

The accused, Upavan Pavan Jain, a real estate broker, faced charges of impersonation, forgery, cheating, and criminal conspiracy. He allegedly deceived a buyer by presenting four different properties and used an associate posing as the owner. Jain is accused of forging property documents and creating fake bank accounts to siphon off the funds from the fraudulent sales.

A Red Notice was issued against Jain in 2023 at the request of Gujarat Police.

In a statement, the CBI spokesperson confirmed, “With the help of the International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) and the NCB-Abu Dhabi, UAE, Jain was successfully deported from Dubai to Ahmedabad on June 20, 2025.” DeshGujarat
