A man, who was wanted by the Kerala Police in a rape case, was brought back to the country from the UAE on Saturday, 23 March.
According to a CBI statement, a ‘Red Notice’ was issued against the accused, Peeru Muhammed Yahya Khan, early this year. He was accused of raping a woman seven years ago.
Khan was facing offences under SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act and in connection with a rape case registered in Pala police station in Kottayam district in 2008.
The Global Operations Centre of the CBI coordinated with the Interpol, Kerala Police, the Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi and the Ministry of External Affairs to facilitate his return, it said.

The accused was later located in the UAE and in close coordination with Interpol NCB-Abu Dhabi, he was brought back to the country on Saturday by a team from Kerala Police, the CBI statement added.
