India has been asking Interpol, which is like a global police network, to help catch fugitives.
Since 2023, India has been asking Interpol for more help.
The CBI, India's main police group for these matters, is working with Interpol and has made it easier and faster to find these fugitives.

Hosting big meetings like the Interpol General Assembly and the G20 summit also helped.
As a result, more fugitives are being brought back to India.
