Fugitive Mehul Choksi Arrested: PNB Scam Accused Caught In Belgium, Extradition Efforts Underway

Fugitive diamond merchant Mehul Choksi, wanted in the ₹13,000 crore Punjab National Bank scam, has been arrested in Belgium. Choksi, who fled India in 2018, was reportedly undergoing medical treatment in Antwerp. Indian authorities are working to get him extradited to face trial. Choksi’s lawyer claims he has blood cancer and is unfit to travel, while Indian agencies challenge this assertion. The arrest comes shortly after India’s success in extraditing 26/11 accused Tahawwur Rana from the US. Legal experts debate the implications and challenges of extradition. While Indian agencies are hopeful, concerns about EU’s strict extradition policies and potential humanitarian grounds for defense are raised. The arrest is seen as a significant step, but experts caution about the complexities involved in bringing economic offenders back from EU countries.
