Modi government brought back 288 fugitives from 36 countries since 2019: HM Amit Shah

NEW DELHI: Stating that 288 fugitives were brought back by the Modi govt from 36 countries between 2019 and 2026, home minister Amit Shah Monday launched a new extradition portal to synergise and expedite efforts to secure the custody of the other "wanted" criminals hiding abroad, to face justice in India.Delivering the inaugural address at a conference on 'PRAHAAR, counter-terrorism policy and strategy', Shah emphasised govt's "zero-tolerance" approach towards all forms and manifestations of terrorism and advocated institutionalising an automated counter-terrorism response and a result-oriented approach for each pillar and at every level of the PRAHAAR framework.PRAHAAR, unveiled in Feb this year as the country's first anti-terror doctrine, is an acronym for its seven pillars Prevention, Response, Aggregating Internal Capacities, Human Rights, Attenuating conditions for terrorism, Aligning international efforts and Recovery & resilience.
