Fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi has shifted to Cuba following fear of extradition to India, his close aide Govin told the reporters.
Govin revealed that Choksi had left the country a few days ago and is currently living in a safe house based in Cuba, according to a report in Associate times.
Govin added that apart from Antigua and Barbuda, Mehul Choksi holds citizenship of another Caribbean Island. However, he avoided naming the country.
Choksi, an accused in the over Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case along with his nephew Nirav Modi, has been residing in Antigua and Barbuda since 4 January 2018.
Choksi was last seen at about 5:15 PM (local time) on 23 May before leaving home in a motorcar which has since been recovered, the local police said.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
