Interpol Procedures in India — A Guide by Cosmos Legal Law Firm
1. What is Interpol and How Does It Operate in India?
Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) is a global entity aimed at combating cross-border crime and tracking offenders internationally. It has over 195 member countries.
India is a member country, and Interpol operations within India are managed by the National Central Bureau (NCB), which operates under the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This bureau coordinates international legal assistance and cross-border criminal investigations.
Cosmos Legal Law Firm provides clients with legal guidance and official representation throughout Interpol procedures in India, ensuring fast and secure communication with both Indian and Turkish authorities.
