while 110 extradition requests remained pending,&#8221; said an MHA spokesperson, adding extradition agreements existed with only 37 countries then, with incomplete documentation and slow processing making the extradition process highly cumbersome.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Stating Modi govt treats extradition of fugitives as a &#8220;national priority&#8221;, MHA said the turnaround since 2019 has focused on updating legal and institutional frameworks, sustained diplomatic persistence and continuous follow-up on extradition requests by agencies. &#8220;Union minister Amit Shah has emphasised a three-pronged strategy against fugitives &#8211; global outreach, strong coordination and smart diplomacy,&#8221; MHA said in the statement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>This is reflected in the figures: 274 fugitives &#8211; including 26\/11 attacks conspirator Tahawwur Hussain Rana, who was extradited from the US &#8211; have been brought back to India since 2019 and 541 Interpol red corner notices issued between 2022 and 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The strengthening of the legal framework against fugitives started in 2019-20 with amendments to NIA Act and UAPA law to expand the scope of action to individual terrorists and funding networks abroad. <!-- -->The new criminal laws implemented in 2024 provide for &#8216;trial in absentia&#8217;
