New Delhi [India], July 11 (ANI): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has successfully coordinated the return of Kubbawala Mustafa from the UAE through INTERPOL Channels. Kubbawala Mustafa is a wanted subject of the Mumbai Police.
The International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of CBI, in collaboration with NCB-Abu Dhabi, successfully brought back wanted Red Notice subject Kubbawala Mustafa to India on July 11. A four-member team of Mumbai Police went to Dubai, UAE, on July 7 to bring back the subject Kubbawala Mustafa. The team arrived at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai, on Friday from the UAE. The subject was earlier geo-located in the UAE through close follow-up by CBI through INTERPOL with NCB-Abu Dhabi.
