A Kerala man has been arrested by the CBI after being deported from UAE in a rape case. An agency official said today that the CBI had made a request to Interpol for Red Corner Notice (RCN) against rape accused Muhamed Hafis Vattaparambil Umer.

After a successful operation by International Police Cooperation Unit of the CBI and the National Central Bureau of Abu Dhabi, Umer was traced in the UAE, from where he was deported to India.
