Dangerous situation as criminals escape to foreign countries and fetch a safe haven there

Kerala’s police chief Jacob Punnoose has disclosed a grave situation regarding the foreign connection of a large number of crimes committed in Kerala.
DGP Jacob Punnoose has said about 10,000 cases of 2010 had foreign connection of one sort or other.

It is a dangerous situation that anyone who commits a crime in the state can freely roam around in some foreign country, particularly the Gulf.

The DGP has observed that there cannot be direct investigation in the foreign country as the Kerala Police Act does not allow this sort of probe.

Many crime committers had secured bogus passports and made the slip from airports in Kerala using fraudulent documents obtained with the connivance of vested interests.

If the situation goes on like this, marauders of various kinds sublimating their deeds in foreign countries would be able to dictate policy matters to various governments in India with their ill-gotten wealth.
