Mehul Choksi, the fugitive diamantaire wanted in the ₹13,500 crore Punjab National Bank scam, has been arrested in Belgium after years of evading Indian authorities. His capture is a significant milestone in India's long-standing efforts to bring economic offenders to justice. Choksi, who fled India in 2018 and acquired Antiguan citizenship, was tracked down after extensive coordination between Indian and international agencies. Reports suggest he was living in Antwerp with his Belgian wife and was planning to escape to Switzerland when authorities intervened. The Indian government has submitted an extradition request and is prepared to use all legal means to bring him back. Choksi’s lawyers argue that he is seriously ill and not a flight risk, claiming the case against him is politically motivated. Meanwhile, India remains firm, stating that no offender should be allowed to misuse international law to avoid accountability. The case has reignited the debate on the global fight against white-collar crime. Stay with Democratic News TV as Anchor Shibnath brings you the latest updates, expert opinions, and exclusive reports on this high-profile legal battle and what it means for India’s crackdown on economic fugitives.
