After the arrest of Indian diamantaire Mehul Choksi in Dominica last week, several stories of how actually he was nabbed have been doing the rounds. But now, Choksi’ lawyers are claiming that he was tricked by the Indian and Antigua agencies which led to his arrest.
According to the reports in Antiguan media that Choksi was arrested by Dominica when he was visiting his girlfriend Babara Jarabica who is a property investment consultant and has studied at the London School of Economics.
The reports stated that Mehul Choksi made a mistake and the information we are getting is that Choksi travelled with his girlfriend, but he was caught in Dominica and now he can be deported back to India.
Mehul Choksi’s lawyers have even claimed that Jarabica was used to honeytrap the PNB Scam accused and that Jarabica had befriended Choksi as per a plan by the Antiguan agencies.
The report further informed that Babara Jarabica has gone mysteriously missing since Mehul Choksi was nabbed and her Instagram account has several photos of her on a luxury yacht and helicopter.
Mehul Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi are wanted for allegedly siphoning Rs 13,500 crore of public money from the state-run Punjab National Bank (PNB) using letters of undertaking and now both are facing a CBI and ED probe.
While Modi is in a London prison after being repeatedly denied bail and is contesting his extradition to India, Choksi took the citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda in 2017 using the Citizenship by Investment programme before fleeing India in the first week of January 2018.
