St. Johns [Antigua], June 10 (ANI): As the controversy around fugitive Indian diamantaire Mehul Choksi's disappearance in Antigua and his subsequent capture in Dominica deepens, new theories are arriving at a rapid pace over the reality of his alleged escape from prosecution.
The Times of India reported on Sunday.
Choksi, 62, who is wanted by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate in India in connection with the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case, was caught in Dominica on May 26 after he allegedly fled Antigua and Barbuda. He was allegedly trying to flee to Cuba.
He moved the Dominican High Court after a lower court rejected his bail plea in relation to his illegal entry into the country. “I have extended an invitation to Indian authorities to interview me and ask any questions that they may have of me in relation to any investigation that they are conducting against me,” Choksi claimed in an eight-page affidavit filed on June 3. “I did not evade law enforcement in India. There was no warrant against me by the law enforcement authorities in India when I left India to seek medical treatment in the United States of America.”
