Operation Trishul helps geo-locate criminals in other countries with help from Interpol.
As part of the operation, officials investigate and locate crime proceeds in financial crime cases as well.
The CBI sources said that their operation will continue.

Just as we now know the number of criminals brought back, can someone publish the total amount of cash recovered since 2014 and value of properties attached by ED with comparative figures for 10 years before 2014. That will possibly shut a majority of the mouths.
