CBI Secures Deportation of Cyber Fraud Fugitive Ganesh Kale from Thailand On June 11, 2026, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) announced the successful deportation of Ganesh Balaso Kale from Thailand, who was wanted for cyber fraud. Kale allegedly operated a scheme that defrauded victims by promising online part-time jobs, requiring them to make monetary investments that were never returned. He was apprehended in Bangkok shortly after an INTERPOL Red Notice was issued on May 24, 2026. The CBI coordinated with Thai authorities and the Indian Ministry of External Affairs for his deportation. Upon arrival in Mumbai, Kale was taken into custody by the Maharashtra Police Cyber Cell. This operation is part of a broader effort by Indian authorities to repatriate wanted criminals through international cooperation, with over 160 fugitives returned in recent years. In a separate case, gangster Vainket Garg was also extradited from Georgia on the same day, highlighting the effectiveness of INTERPOL channels. 11 sources 25
