Operation Trishul has helped India bring back 274 fugitives from 36 countries since 2019.
The operation tracks fugitives involved in cases related to terrorism, organised crime, narco-terrorism, financial fraud, murder, sexual offences, and human trafficking.
It uses satellite imagery, surveillance inputs, and digital footprints to locate fugitives hiding abroad.
The operation involves coordination among the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), state police forces, and Interpol.
India brought back 70 fugitives in 2025 and 45 fugitives by July 2026 under international cooperation mechanisms.
