For nearly three decades, Interpol pursued a relentless global manhunt for Charles Sobhraj, the enigmatic "Serpent" who had left a trail of victims across Asia in the 1970s. Using aliases and disguises, Sobhraj evaded authorities, leaving behind a string of unsolved murders. In 2003, after a 28-year investigation, Interpol's Red Notice alert finally led to his arrest in Nepal. Sobhraj's capture marked the culmination of a determined effort by Interpol to bring a notorious criminal to justice and closure for the families of his victims.
