Saudi Arabia Extradites Fugitive to Pakistan After FIA-Interpol Operation
Punjab Police took the fugitive in custody shortly after he arrived in Islamabad
Saudi Arabia has extradited a fugitive named Rafiullah Khan to Pakistan following a successful joint operation between the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Interpol.
This operation culminated in Khan’s transfer to the custody of Punjab Police shortly after he arrived in Islamabad on January 7, 2025, Tuesday. The FIA confirmed this development, highlighting the effective collaboration with international law enforcement agencies to apprehend fugitives wanted for serious crimes.
Rafiullah Khan had been evading arrest for an extended period, prompting the FIA to issue a red notice against him. His extradition marks a significant achievement in Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to bring high-profile criminals to justice, particularly those who have fled abroad.
This operation is part of a broader strategy by Pakistani authorities, which has seen multiple successful extraditions recently, demonstrating a commitment to tackling crime and enhancing law enforcement cooperation across borders.
