Mehul Choksi Arrested Abroad
Fugitive diamond trader Mehul Choksi, a key accused in the ₹13,000 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case, has been arrested in Belgium following a red corner notice. Acting on India’s extradition request, Belgian authorities detained Choksi earlier today.
Sources confirm that the Indian government is in active talks with Belgium to initiate the legal process for his swift extradition. This marks a significant breakthrough in India’s efforts to bring back economic offenders hiding overseas.
If successful, Choksi will face trial under the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for charges including money laundering, fraud, and criminal conspiracy.
