PNB scam case: Dominica withdraws illegal entry case against fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi

62-year-old fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi is wanted in India in connection with a Rs 13,500-crore fraud in the Punjab National Bank (PNB).

PNB scam case: Fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi on Saturday got relief from the Commonwealth of Dominica where he was charged with illegal entry by the police. The prosecution of Dominica decided to withdraw/discontinue the legal proceedings in the illegal entry case against him. “Choksi is pleased that the Dominican Government has today dropped all charges against him for unlawful entry in May 2021. By doing so they now recognise that there was never any case against him. Choksi was forcibly removed from Antigua against his will by agents of the Indian State, viciously assaulted, and taken to Dominica by boat, where he was again unlawfully handed over to authorities for an offence he never committed. Choksi’s legal team continue to pursue all avenues for justice to redress the human rights violations committed against him.

Choksi hopes that those responsible for his kidnapping from Antigua on May 23, 2021 will be brought to justice,” reads the statement of Choksi issued by his spokesperson. Director of Public Prosecutions (AG) in a reply filed on May 17, 2022, to Magistrate Court, informed that ‘Mehul Chinubhai Choksi’ was charged, for that he, on the 24th day of May 2021 at Toucarie Bay, Toucarie in the Parish of St John, in the Commonwealth of Dominica, did enter illegally into the Commonwealth of Dominica at a place to wit ‘Toucarie Bay, Toucarie’ not approved as a point of entry.”

The reply of the Director of Prosecutions further stated that “in accordance with the provisions of Section 72(2) © of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Dominica, I do hereby discontinue the above-mentioned proceedings against the said, Mehul Chinubhai Choksi.” After the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Choksi’s lawyer Advocate Vijay Aggarwal told ANI, “Truth always comes out in the end, no matter how hard anyone tries to stop it or hide it. Lies are just temporary delays to the inevitable. It was extremely insensitive for some people to call injuries on my client Mehul Choksi to be fake because of some legal strategy.” Earlier, while Dominica High Court granted interim bail to Choksi on the medical grounds, his lawyer had said that all pending proceedings related to illegal entry against Mehul Choksi will be kept in abeyance till he gets medically fit to come back to Dominica. But according to us, that was not an illegal entry matter, it was a forceful entry case, he added.

Fugitive Businessman Mehul Choksi who had gone missing from Antigua on May 23, 2021, was soon caught in Dominica. He was charged with illegal entry by the police in Dominica. The 62-year-old fugitive is wanted in India in connection with a Rs 13,500-crore fraud in the Punjab National Bank (PNB).

The Dominican PM claimed that such allegations were total nonsense, as reported by a local news daily.

Responding to the claims of Mehul & his family for the first time, the Dominican PM declined any of the information. He said that the claims that the three governments colluded to ensure Mehul is sent to India to appear for the trials of Rs. 13500 crore bank fraud case.

As per the legal team of the businessmen, the police officers from Antigua and India abducted him on May 23 and brought to Dominica in a boat the next day. In Dominica, police officer received and there were plans to quietly deport him to India.

Responding to it Skerrit said that it all sounds absurd.

“To say that the government of Dominica and the government of Antigua along with India colluded in any way, give me a break, that’s total nonsense. We don’t get involved ourselves in those kinds of activities, those practices, not at all. I mean that is absurd and we reject it and it is unfortunate that anybody would want to propagate this unsubstantiated claim by a gentleman who is before the courts,” Skerrit said while interacting to the journalists as per his weekly routine.

Skerrit went ahead and urged all the opposition parties in Dominica to not pass any irrelevant and misinformed remarks on the above described case. He also emphasized that his government is dedicated to maintain parity in judging the accused and irrespective of who commits the crime, he/ she shall be treated the same.
