PNB Scams: All the tricks of fugitive diamond trader Mehul Choksi of PNB scam are failing and his problems are increasing. Indian officials told the Dominica High Court that fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi’s Indian citizenship has not yet expired and his claim of relinquishing Indian citizenship is against the laws in India, as it is wrong. is. Indian officials, who are trying to extradite Mehul Choksi, have given this information in an affidavit filed in the High Court.

Indian officials further said that the affidavit filed by the consular officer of the Indian High Commission in Dominica stated that Mehul Choksi is an Indian citizen and his application for relinquishment of Indian citizenship was rejected.

Mehul Choksi had approached the High Court after the Rojo magistrate rejected the bail application. The hearing of the same case was going on in the High Court but even from there Mehul Choksi could not get bail.

Flight risk became the basis for debate

During the hearing in the High Court, defense lawyers argued that as a CARICOM citizen, Mehul Choksi was entitled to bail as the alleged offense was bailable and a fine of a few thousand was imposed on him. The lawyers have also argued that Mehul Choksi’s health is not good, so he should not take the flight risk. In such a situation, bail should be given by taking the surety amount. At the same time, the state is opposing the bail. They say that Mehul Choksi is on flight risk and a notice has been issued to him from Interpol. In such a situation, the state has requested not to grant bail.

Appeal dismissed on this ground

State lawyer Lennox Lawrence has opposed the bail on Mehul Choksi’s bail. Lennox is Lawrence State’s lawyer, so he says that Mehul Choksi has not complained about health. So his being in the hospital is not the real issue. He is also getting medical help. However, the judge said that the bail should not be denied on the ground that the investigation is going on. However, the court refused to grant bail to Mehul Choksi.

Dominica had fled from Antigua

Significantly, Choksi is accused of entering Dominica illegally. Mehul Choksi went missing from Antigua and Barbuda on 23 May. He was living in Antigua as a citizen since January 2018 after leaving India. Mehul Choksi’s address was found in Dominica, after which the police took him into custody. His lawyers claim that he has been abducted from Antigua by Antigua and Indian authorities. It also included the name of his alleged girlfriend, which has pushed Choksi into deeper trouble.
