NEW DELHI (Jan 27): Three Malaysian fugitives, who are alleged members of a crime syndicate, are awaiting their handover to the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) after being arrested on Sunday at Mumbai airport. The trio were taken into custody after an altercation with security personnel at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) following their deportation from Britain. The fugitives were among the suspects targeted by PDRM in an anti-crime crackdown last year known as "Op Jack Sparrow". They turned violent and confronted Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at the airport's Terminal 2, according to local media reports on Monday. The NDTV reported that a special team of Malaysian elite police was expected to arrive in Mumbai within the next 48 hours to take them into custody.
