Man who transported Fake Currency to India brought back to India to CBI

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has successfully brought back Moideenabba Ummer Beary, a man wanted in a fake Indian currency case, from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This was done with the help of INTERPOL – the international police organization that helps track criminals across countries.

Moideenabba Ummer Beary, who was wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), had been living in the UAE. On 20th June 2025, he was sent back to India and arrived as a deportee at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai, after flying from Dubai.

The CBI’s International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) worked closely with the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abu Dhabi to track and bring him back. Through constant follow-up using INTERPOL channels, they were able to find him in the UAE.

The case against Moideenabba was originally registered by the NIA’s Kochi branch. He is accused of being involved in:

• Bringing in high-quality fake Indian currency notes (FICN),
• Cheating, and
• Being part of a criminal conspiracy.

According to the NIA, Moideenabba had procured the fake currency in Dubai, and transported it to Bangalore through Sharjah.

To help find him globally, the CBI got a Red Notice issued by INTERPOL against him on 30th December 2013. A Red Notice is like a global alert to police in all countries, asking them to locate and arrest the person for possible extradition.

After he was arrested in the UAE, India sent an official request through the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to bring him back.

The CBI, which acts as India’s official link to INTERPOL, often works with different law enforcement agencies across the country through a network called BHARATPOL. Over the past few years, more than 100 wanted criminals have been brought back to India using these international police cooperation channels.
