Indian businessman Mehul Choksi, was granted bail by the Dominica High Court on medical grounds. He is wanted by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate in India in the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case.
According to the reports, Vijay Agarwal, Choksi’s lawyer confirmed that news. On May 23, Choksi was gone missing from Antigua and Barbuda, but was later captured in Dominica and is facing charges of entering the country illegally.
Mehul Choksi had filed a case in the high court of Dominica, seeking to quash the proceedings against him alleging that his arrest was “dictated” by representatives of the Indian government.
The case was filed against the Immigration Minister of the Caribbean nation, its police chief and the investigating officer of the case. Choksi pleaded that the decision to charge him for illegal entry violated the law and, accordingly, was null and void.
He has been kept at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital while awaiting an outcome in his illegal entry case.
