He is contesting extradition to India.Choksi, Modi and their family members and employees, bank officials and others were booked by the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2018 for perpetrating the alleged fraud in the Brady House branch of the PNB in Mumbai.It was alleged that Choksi, his firm Gitanjali Gems and others committed the offence of cheating against Punjab National Bank in connivance with certain bank officials by fraudulently getting the LOUs (letters of undertaking) issued and got the FLCs (foreign letter of credit) enhanced without following prescribed procedure and caused a wrongful loss to the bank.The ED said its probe found that PNB bank officials in connivance with Choksi, Gitanjali Gems and others originally issued FLCs for smaller amount within the sanctioned limit and once FLC number was generated, the same number was used for amendment by way of enhancement of FLC and increase in the amount and such enhancement of amount was done at 4-5 times higher value of the original FLC amount.Such amendments were done outside the CBS system, and hence, it was not captured in the books of bank, the ED had alleged.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Mehul Choksi's,Choksi,Mumbai,Antigua,Mehul Choksi,PNB,Punjab National Bank,Priti,Dominica,CBI","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-06T17:27:04.928477+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"UVC3UGBV5Z8f","slug":"english/dominica-drops-charges-of-illegal-entry-against-mehul-choksi","title":"Dominica drops charges of 'illegal entry' against Mehul Choksi","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-22T09:48:05.399187+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653212884.478101, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" New Delhi, May 22 (PTI) In a relief to PNB bank scam accused diamantaire Mehul Choksi, the Dominica government has dropped \\\"all charges\\\" related to his mysterious unlawful entry from Antigua and Barbuda in May last year, according to his spokesperson from London.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Choksi was taken into custody in Dominica, the Caribbean island country, in May last year after he went missing from Antigua and Barbuda where he had taken citizenship before allegedly escaping from India to avoid charges of orchestrating Rs 13,500 crore scam in Punjab National Bank in which his nephew Nirav Modi is a co-accused.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" He was left on bail after 51 days by the Dominica High Court there.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" During the period, India made desperate attempts to bring him back with a CBI team stationed there with a private jet.

The CBI has booked Mehul Choksi, his company Gitanjali Gems and valuers Surajmal Lallu Bhai and Co, Narendra Jhaveri, Pradip C Shah and Shrenik Shah, they said. The central agency has acted on a complaint from Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) Ltd alleging that Choksi had approached it in 2016 seeking Rs 25 crore working capital loan for which he had pledged shares and gold and diamond jewellery. According to the valuations submitted by four different valuers, the jewellery pledged was in the range of Rs 34-45 crore on the basis of which IFCI sanctioned the loan demanded by Choksi. As the company allegedly defaulted on payments, IFCI started to invoke the pledged shares and jewellery. However, the company could only sell 6,48,822 shares amounting to Rs 4,07 crore of the total 20,60,054 pledged shares because client ID of Mehul Choksi was blocked by NSDL, according to the complaint which is now part of the FIR. IFCI now focussed on pledged jewels -- gold, diamonds and studded jewellery -- but its fresh valuations by a different set of valuers showed that their values were 98 per cent below the initial reports submitted by Choksi at the time of availing loan. The fresh valuations showed that the pledged jewellery valued anything between Rs 70 lakh and a little over Rs 2 crore only, it said. IFCI alleged that Choksi with dishonest and fraudulent intention colluded with the valuers and got the valuation of the pledged jewels done with exorbitant and inflated value. The fresh valuations showed that diamonds were of low quality lab prepared chemical vapour diamonds and other inferior colour stones and not real gemstones. The loan account was declared a non-performing asset on June 30, 2018, causing wrongful loss of over Rs 22 crore to IFCI, it said. The CBI conducted searches at eight locations in Kolkata and Mumbai at the premises of the accused valuers. Incriminating documents were recovered, CBI spokesperson R C Joshi said. Choksi is already accused of siphoning off over Rs 6,344.96 crore from Punjab National Bank (PNB) using fraudulent letters of undertaking and foreign letters of credit. Officials at PNB's Brady House branch in Mumbai issued 165 letters of undertaking (LoUs) and 58 foreign letters of credit (FLCs) during March-April 2017, against which 311 bills were discounted. These LoUs and FLCs were allegedly issued to Choksi's firms without any sanctioned limit or cash margin and without making entries in the bank's central banking system to evade any scrutiny in case of a default. LoUs are a guarantee given by a bank on behalf of its client to a foreign bank. If the client does not repay to the foreign bank, the liability falls on the guarantor bank.

The detailed order became available on Thursday. The PNB in July 2021 had filed multiple applications seeking release of the properties mortgaged with the bank against the credit facilities extended to Nirav Modi's two firms, Firestar Diamond International Private Ltd (FDIPL) and Firestar International (FIL). The applications were filed by PNB as an individual claimant and also as lead bank of the PNB consortium and authorized representative of the UBI consortium.The court allowed two pleas seeking the release of properties of FIL worth Rs 108.3 crore and those of FDIPL worth Rs 331.6 crore. The claimants' (banks) quantifiable loss has been recognized by the DRT (Debt Recovery Tribunal) who has passed judgments in their favor, the court noted. During its probe, the ED attached several properties owned by Nirav Modi though his family members and these companies. Several of the properties were confiscated after he was declared a fugitive economic offender in December 2019. The bank and lenders' consortium had objected to the confiscation, as the properties had been mortgaged with them when Modi and Choksi availed of Letters of Undertaking (LOUs). The court has now also directed the PNB to give an undertaking to return the properties or their value if directed in future. Nirav Modi and Choksi along with some bank officials are accused of cheating the Punjab National Bank of Rs 14,000 crore by obtaining LoUs fraudulently. LoUs are issued as a guarantee for the applicant to seek loans from overseas Indian banks.Nirav Modi is currently lodged in a UK jail and is fighting extradition to India.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"PNB,the Enforcement Directorate,the Punjab National Bank,Mehul Choksi,Firestar Diamond International Private Ltd,Firestar International,FIL).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp,FIL,Debt Recovery Tribunal,ED","originalPublishedOn":"2021-08-19T13:30:05.081497+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"h6FWdIvqSgS1","slug":"choksi-back-in-antigua-and-barbuda-after-getting-bail-in-dominica","title":"Choksi back in Antigua and Barbuda after getting bail in Dominica","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-07-15T17:31:05.254389+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1626370204.500736, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, Jul 15 (PTI) Absconding diamantaire Mehul Choksi has returned to Antigua and Barbuda, his abode since 2018, after nearly 51 days of custody in neighbouring Dominica for illegal entry which his lawyers claim was a kidnapping plan, local media reported there.\\u00a0 \\tChoksi, 62, was given bail by Dominica High Court to travel back to Antigua for seeking medical help from a neurologist based there and return to face trial when given fitness clearance by his doctors.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"After depositing bail money of EC Dollars 10000, Choksi in a light green shirt and khaki shorts flew back to Antigua in a chartered plane, Antigua News Room reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Officials of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Antigua and Barbuda met him at the airport.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The issue of his return was brought before the Cabinet under Prime Minister Gaston Browne while it was in session.\\u00a0 \\tThe Cabinet observed that Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda will continue to investigate the claims of Choksi's kidnapping and cases of revoking his citizenship and his extradition will continue in the courts there.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Choksi, wanted in Rs 13,500 crore bank fraud case in India, had mysteriously gone missing on May 23 from Antigua and Barbuda where he has been staying after fleeing India.\\u00a0 \\tHe was detained in neighbouring island country of Dominica for illegal entry on May 24 after a possible romantic escapade with his rumoured girlfriend.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"His lawyers alleged that he was abducted from Jolly Harbour in Antigua on May 23 by policemen looking like Antiguan and Indian and brought to Dominica on a boat.\\u00a0 \\tWhile seeking bail in Dominica, Choksi had attached his medical reports including CT scan reports which showed \\\"mildly worsening hematoma\\\".\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The doctors recommend an urgent review of his medical condition by a neurologist and a neurosurgical consultant.\\u00a0 \\t\\\"The services are not currently available on the island.

The bail was granted by judge V C Barde on Monday, but the detailed order became available on Tuesday. Sheth was named as an accused in a supplementary charge sheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the case earlier this year. He appeared on Monday -- as directed by the court after taking cognizance of the charge sheet -- and applied for bail. His lawyer Vijay Agarwal argued that there was no evidence against his client which was why he was not shown as accused earlier, and even now the agency had found no evidence against him. Sheth obeyed the court's summons and duly appeared before it, the lawyer pointed out. Public prosecutor A Limosin opposed the bail plea, saying the alleged offense was of serious nature. He was not entitled to bail merely because the CBI did not arrest him earlier, the prosecutor said. The court, however, observed that the accused person's presence was apparently not required for further investigation. He was not accused to have absconded or tampered with evidence or threatened the witnesses, it noted, granting Sheth bail. Sheth was the director of Gili and Nakshtra brands, part of the Gitanjali Group of Companies promoted by Choksi. The group is accused of a fraud of over Rs 7,080 crore.

An LoU is a guarantee for a person/firm for obtaining loan from overseas branch of an Indian bank.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Mehul Choksi's,Sheth,Mumbai,CBI,Dhanesh Sheth,Mehul Choksi,the Punjab National Bank,V C Barde,the Central Bureau of Investigation,Vijay Agarwal","originalPublishedOn":"2021-07-13T12:57:04.547437+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"HWqI903EzoTo","slug":"choksi-will-only-return-to-dominica-to-face-trial-when-fit-media-reports-citing-bail-conditions","title":"Choksi will 'only' return to Dominica to face trial when fit, media reports citing bail conditions","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-07-13T01:25:04.979262+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1626139443.832633, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" New Delhi, Jul 13 (PTI) Diamantaire Mehul Choksi will \\\"only\\\" return to Dominica to face trial for illegal entry into that country when a doctor \\\"certifies\\\" that he is fit to stand trial, the media there reported citing conditions laid down by the Dominica High Court while granting him bail.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" In a major setback to Indian efforts to bring him from the Caribbean country, Dominica High Court Judge Bernie Stephenson allowed the businessman to return to Antigua and Barbuda, where he has been living as a citizen since 2018 after leaving India, to seek medical advice from neurologist Hayden Osborne at the Mount St. John's Medical Centre, Dominica News Online reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Choksi is having a clot in brain besides other health issues such as diabetes and hypertension, his legal team has submitted.\\u00a0 \\t The High Court also ordered that Choksi must intimate the court in the case of any change of specialist and his address in Antigua where he was going to stay.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The judge said Choksi will only return to Dominica when a doctor certifies that he is fit to stand trial, the news website reported.\\u00a0 \\t Choksi has sought a judicial review of case of illegal entry into Dominica brought upon him by the local police and decision of a minister there to declare him a prohibited immigrant.\\u00a0 \\t The matter has now been deferred till January 26, 2022.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" His trial for illegal entry before a magistrate has also been stayed.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The High Court also ordered he must notify the court of his address in Dominica once he returns and his bail will be reviewed within 48 hours.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The hearing of bail was held as lawyers intimated the court of his worsening health.\\u00a0 \\t The doctors recommend an urgent review of his medical condition by a neurologist and a neurosurgical consultant.\\u00a0 \\t \\\"The services are not currently available on the island.

In a major setback to Indian efforts to bring him from the Caribbean country, Dominica High Court Judge Bernie Stephenson allowed the businessman to return to Antigua and Barbuda, where he has been living as a citizen since 2018 after leaving India, to seek medical advice from neurologist Hayden Osborne at the Mount St. John's Medical Centre, Dominica News Online reported. Choksi is having a clot in brain besides other health issues such as diabetes and hypertension, his legal team has submitted. The High Court also ordered that Choksi must intimate the court in the case of any change of specialist and his address in Antigua where he was going to stay. The judge said Choksi will only return to Dominica when a doctor certifies that he is fit to stand trial, the news website reported. Choksi has sought a judicial review of case of illegal entry into Dominica brought upon him by the local police and decision of a minister there to declare him a prohibited immigrant. The matter has now been deferred till January 26, 2022. His trial for illegal entry before a magistrate has also been stayed. The High Court also ordered he must notify the court of his address in Dominica once he returns and his bail will be reviewed within 48 hours. The hearing of bail was held as lawyers intimated the court of his worsening health. The doctors recommend an urgent review of his medical condition by a neurologist and a neurosurgical consultant.

The High Court order has come as a major jolt to Indian efforts to bring back Choksi, wanted in Rs 13,500 crore scam in Punjab National Bank, from Dominica where he was held for illegal entry after his mysterious disappearance from Antigua and Barbuda. His lawyers had alleged that he was abducted from Antigua and Barbuda in an elaborate plot hatched by men of Indian origin and a mystery woman, named Barbara Jabarica, who had befriended him during last six months. After news of Choksi being held in Dominica surfaced, India rushed a team of officials led by CBI DIG Sharda Raut to make every effort to bring him back on the basis of Interpol Red Notice against him. His lawyer in London Michael Polak who filed a complaint with Scotland Yard said Choksi was removed from Antigua and Barbuda, where as a citizen he enjoys rights to approach the British Queen's Privy Council as last resort in cases on his citizenship and extradition, to Dominica where these rights are not available to him. The effort was unsuccessful as an army of Choksi's top lawyers moved with an unprecedented agility to file a Habeas Corpus petition before the Dominica High Court which was admitted for hearing.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Dominica,Antigua,Choksi,the Dominica High Court,India,The High Court,New Delhi,Mehul Choksi,Bernie Stephenson,Hayden Osborne","originalPublishedOn":"2021-07-13T01:24:03.857120+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"GfvJtKBWjHur","slug":"dominica-hc-allows-mehul-choksi-to-return-to-antigua-on-bail-for-treatment-local-media","title":"Dominica HC allows Mehul Choksi to return to Antigua on bail for treatment: Local media","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-07-12T16:31:04.760125+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1626107403.861184, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI) The Dominica High Court has granted bail to fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, allowing him to travel to Antigua and Barbuda for treatment of his neurological condition, local media there reported.\\u00a0 \\tThe high court has granted a consent order permitting Choksi to go to Antigua, where he has been staying as a citizen since 2018 after he left India, after depositing\\u00a0 Eastern Caribbean Dollars 10,000 (approximately Rs 2.75 lakh as per exchange rate) as bail money,\\u00a0Antigua Breaking News reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The court has also stayed the ongoing trial before a magistrate for his alleged illegal entry into Dominica on May 23, it said. \"}}]}","relatedPosts":null,"location":null,"createdBy":{"name":"PTI","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","username":"presstrustofindia","id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","role":null},"topics":[{"name":"MehulChoksi","slug":"mehulchoksi","id":"oymhUt7eCajP"},{"name":"NewDelhi","slug":"newdelhi","id":"ZbQipZWThohh"},{"name":"India","slug":"india","id":"Bq4MmUPrXF8p"}],"userReaction":"","isBookmarked":false,"authors":[{"name":"PTI","id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","username":"presstrustofindia"}],"translatedBy":[],"editedBy":[],"reportedBy":[],"postedBy":[],"agency":[],"originalPost":null,"publishedOn":"2021-07-12T16:30:04.760139+00:00","publisher":3,"sourceFeed":"vGU2HP8m5Uaa","cleanText":"New Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI) The Dominica High Court has granted bail to fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, allowing him to travel to Antigua and Barbuda for treatment of his neurological condition, local media there reported.

Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi in connivance with certain bank officials cheated Punjab National Bank (PNB) to the tune of Rs 14,000 crore through issuance of fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoUs). In a communication to lenders, including rural development banks and cooperative banks, the RBI has asked them to put in place a 'mandatory leave' policy as part of the prudent risk management measure. As a prudent operational risk management measure, the banks shall put in place a 'mandatory leave' policy wherein the employees posted in sensitive positions or areas of operation shall be compulsorily sent on leave for a few days (not less than 10 working days) in a single spell every year, without giving any prior intimation to these employees, thereby maintaining an element of surprise, the communication said. During the mandatory leave, the bank employee will not have access to any physical or virtual resources related to the work responsibilities, with the exception of internal/ corporate email which is usually available to all employees for general purposes. The RBI, in its earlier guideline on the issue in April 2015, had not clearly specified the number of days for the mandatory surprise leave, though it said it could be a few days (say 10 working days). The central bank has updated the 'mandatory leave' policy for the employees posted in sensitive positions or areas of operation, and repealed the circular dated April 23, 2015. Banks, as per a board-approved policy, have been asked to prepare a list of sensitive positions to be covered under 'mandatory leave' requirements and also review the list periodically. RBI has asked banks to comply with the revised instructions within six months. As per the April 2015 circular, sensitive positions or areas of operations covered under the 'mandatory leave' policy include treasury, currency chests, risk modelling, and model validation. In a circular issued in 2011 on 'Findings of Forensic Scrutiny- Guidelines for prevention of frauds', banks were advised to immediately put in place 'staff rotation' policy and policy for 'mandatory leave'.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Mumbai,Mehul Choksi,Punjab National Bank,RBI,ABM","originalPublishedOn":"2021-07-09T18:24:04.552129+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"Mhv8eRbGIp70","slug":"total-nonsense-dominica-pm-on-claims-his-govt-involved-in-choksis-abduction","title":"'Total nonsense': Dominica PM on claims his govt involved in Choksi's abduction","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-07-02T07:52:04.978947+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1625212263.827209, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, Jul 2 (PTI) Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has termed \\\"total nonsense\\\" the claims that his government was involved in alleged abduction of diamantaire Mehul Choksi, wanted in Rs 13,500 crore scam in Punjab National Bank, from neighbouring Antigua and Barbuda, local media there reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"In his weekly \\\"annou palay\\\" show, Skerrit said his government will allow the court to carry out its process regarding Choksi and gave the assurance that his rights and obligations will be respected, Dominica News Online reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Skerrit refuted the allegations of a plot between India and Dominica government to kidnap Choksi from neighbouring Caribbean country Antigua and Barbuda, where he was staying since 2018 as a citizen, after fleeing from India, and bring him to Dominica, the news portal reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"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.

According to the agency, the latest sale proceeds take the total value of recovery to Rs 9,041.5 crore, or 40 per cent of the over Rs 22,000 crore allegedly defrauded by the trio.

Hence, Mehul Choksi fled India on January 4, 2018, with dishonest intent to evade the process of law, the supplementary charge sheet filed last week said. Choksi had taken citizenship of Caribbean Island country of Antigua and Barbuda in 2017 where he was staying since 2018 till his mysterious disappearance on May 23. He was held in neighbouring country Dominica where he was arrested for illegal entry and is facing court proceedings. The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Gaston Browne has claimed in interviews that Choksi had not given accurate information about him while taking citizenship through the investment scheme of the country. The CBI which filed its supplementary charge sheet nearly three years after its first report alleged that Choksi asked Directors of Hong Kong based supplier companies to get a Thailand Visa as Hong Kong operations would be closed. Also read | Canadian truck driver accused of running over a Muslim family to face terror charges, In December 2017, Choksi allegedly telephoned Kalpen Doshi, a director in Crown Aim, asking him that all dummy directors should provide their documents to his aide Chitalia, also an accused, to apply for work permits for Abbeycrest, Bangkok, a company controlled by him, the CBI said. Next year, Chitalia again warned dummy directors to not visit India in the wake of “more trouble from the investigations started by agencies, it said. The directors were shifted to Bangkok in February when the investigation into the scam began, it said. But the directors returned in the second quarter of 2018. While Choksi was moving directors, Shetty, prima donna of the scam in the bank, made desperate attempts to clean his slate prior to his superannuation, the CBI has found. Shetty was approver in all the FLCs issued for Choksi's companies. He allegedly made entries in some FLCs initially in the central banking system of the PNB but later modified them to huge amounts without making any mention in the CBS to evade any scrutiny in case of default. Prior to his superannuation in 2017, he allegedly made pre-payment in 12 out of 16 bills drawn in fraudulent amendments putting them in collection bills rather than negotiation bills in the international banking messages called SWIFT. No corresponding entries were made in the CBS of the bank.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"CBI,India,Chitalia,Choksi,Mehul Choksi,Hong Kong,Mumbai,Antigua,Bangkok,CBS","originalPublishedOn":"2021-06-17T11:15:04.981943+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"yPKA9LnUtbMG","slug":"firms-owned-by-choksi-siphoned-off-over-rs-634496-cr-from-pnb-using-fraudulent-lous-cbi","title":"Firms owned by Choksi siphoned off over Rs 6,344.96 Cr from PNB using fraudulent LoUs: CBI","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-06-16T14:19:05.557655+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1623853084.40299, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, Jun 16 (PTI) Companies owned by fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi have allegedly siphoned off over Rs 6,344.96 crore from the Punjab National Bank (PNB) using fraudulent letters of undertaking and foreign letters of credit, a CBI investigation into the scam has detected.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The findings were submitted by the CBI in a supplementary chargesheet filed before a special court in Mumbai last week, where the agency said the PNB was conned by its employees who were allegedly hand in gloves with Choksi and his company executives and who facilitated the scam as part of a criminal conspiracy.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The PNB officials at the bank's Brady House branch in Mumbai issued 165 letters of undertaking (LoUs) and 58 foreign letters of credit (FLCs) during March-April 2017, against which 311 bills were discounted.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"These LoUs and FLCs were allegedly issued to Choksi's firms without any sanctioned limit or cash margin and without making entries in the bank's central banking system to evade any scrutiny in case of a default.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"LoUs are a guarantee given by a bank on behalf of its client to a foreign bank.

Moreover, the addition of section 201 of the IPC for destruction of evidence is not legally tenable as a document becomes evidence only after its filing in the court and the allegations are of a period much prior to the FIR, Choksi's lawyer Vijay Aggarwal said.Choksi was living in Antigua and Barbuda since 2018, after he fled India in the first week of January that year, weeks before the scam was reported.The diamantaire and his nephew, Nirav Modi, have allegedly siphoned off over Rs 13,000 crore of public money from the PNB using LoUs and FLCs by bribing officials of the bank's Brady House branch.The agency has slapped charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating, breach of trust, disappearance of evidence, falsification of accounts, bribery and criminal misconduct by public servant in its supplementary chargesheet.The CBI investigation has found that accused PNB official Gokulnath Shetty, in a conspiracy with Choksi, had in an unauthorised manner issued 165 LoUs from the PNB's Brady House branch between March 1, 2017 and April 29, 2017 on behalf of Gitanjali Gems (113 LoUs), Gili India Limited (35 LoUs) and Nakshatra Brands (17 LoUs) -- all accused firms -- the chargesheet has alleged.The purpose of this trade transaction was shown as purchasing fresh water pearls from Shanyao Gong Si Limited and 4Cs Diamond Distributors, both based in Hong Kong, the CBI has said.It has found that the accused companies availed 142 buyer's credit amounting to Rs 3,011.38 crore and did not make payments on the due date wilfully, causing loss to the bank and corresponding profits to themselves.It is alleged that Choksi and Modi used the mechanism to get credit from foreign banks, which was not repaid, bringing a liability of over Rs 13,000 crore on the PNB.The investigation has further revealed that the fraud was allegedly perpetrated despite circulars issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which was in the knowledge of senior PNB officials.Further, the PNB officials did not implement the circulars and caution notices issued by the RBI regarding safeguarding the SWIFT (international banking messaging system) operations and instead, misrepresented the factual situation to the RBI, the agency has alleged.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"PNB,CBI,Brady

The judge adjourned the matter till June 11, it said. The high court is also hearing a separate matter of habeas corpus filed by Choksi's team in which the hearing has also been adjourned. Choksi had mysteriously gone missing on May 23 from Antigua and Barbuda where he has been staying since 2018 as a citizen. He was detained in neighbouring island country Dominica for illegal entry after a possible romantic escapade with his rumoured girlfriend. His lawyers alleged that he was kidnapped from Jolly Harbour in Antigua by policemen looking like Antiguan and Indian and brought to Dominica on a boat. The businessman was also brought before a Roseau magistrate on the orders of high court judge Bernie Stephenson, hearing the habeas corpus matter, to answer charges of illegal entry where he pleaded not guilty but was denied bail.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Mehul Choksi's,Choksi,New Delhi,The Dominica High Court,Mehul Choksi,Wynante Adrien-Roberts,Julien Prevost,Wayne Norde,Wayne Marsh,Cara Shillingford-Marsh.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp","originalPublishedOn":"2021-06-09T03:03:03.875618+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"JhHCRFZwX6Xd","slug":"fugitive-diamentaire-mehul-choksi-says-he-was-beaten-by-8-10-men-in-antigua","title":"Fugitive diamentaire Mehul Choksi says he was beaten by 8-10 men in Antigua","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_MdVyOmwoN.jpg","coverCaption":"Mehul Choksi, a fugitive diamantaire, is in the custody of the Dominican police.

countries and conceal the proceeds of crime in complex legal structures over different countries and jurisdictions, the gaps and weaknesses of international cooperation in this area are fully exploited by them to their advantage.His assertion assumes significance as India is making continuous efforts to bring back fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi to face law in the country.Both had fled India in January 2018, weeks before the Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam involving Rs 13,500 crore rocked the Indian banking industry.India is making efforts to deport Choksi from Antigua and extradite Nirav Modi from London. The Indian government is also trying to bring back another fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya from London.Mallya is accused in bank loan default case of over Rs 9,000 crore involving his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines.Addressing the session on ‘challenges and measures to fight corruption', Singh said India has made it clear that the world is presently combatting another serious emerging challenge of fugitive economic offenders. India’s Fugitive Economic Offenders Act 2018 law empowers authorities for non-conviction-based attachment and confiscation of proceeds of crime and properties and assets of a ‘fugitive economic

Dominica High Court Judge Bernie Stephenson issued the orders after nearly three hours of hearing on a habeas corpus petition filed on behalf of Choksi who had claimed that he was abducted from neighbouring Antigua and Barbuda and forcefully brought to the Caribbean Island nation. She adjourned the habeas corpus matter till Thursday, Dominica News Online reported. Rejecting the submission of Choksi who is wanted in India in an alleged Rs 13,500 crore loan fraud case in Punjab National Bank and has an Interpol Red Notice against him, the prosecution said the habeas corpus petition does not stand as he had illegally entered the country and was subsequently detained. His lawyers, however, alleged that he was kidnapped from Jolly Harbour in Antigua and brought to Dominica on a boat, about 100 nautical miles away. Our stand that Mr Mehul Choksi is in illegal detention as he was required to be produced within 72 hours before the magistrate and was not so produced has been vindicated. In order to remedy this, he has been asked to be produced before the magistrate. This establishes illegal detention of Mr Mehul Choksi as pleaded by the defence, Choksi's lawyer Vijay Aggarwal said. The matter being heard is of habeas corpus petition.and not of his repatriation to India. His citizenship is not in question before the court Contrary to numerous media reports, there was no discussion regarding Government of India, Aggarwal said. The diamantaire, who mysteriously went missing on May 23 from Antigua and Barbuda where he had been staying since 2018 as a citizen, was detained in neighbouring Dominica for illegal entry after a possible romantic escapade with his rumoured girlfriend. Choksi's wife Preeti told reporters that the woman in question was not his girlfriend. She said the woman was known to him and used to go on walks with him. She said Choksi was abducted by people looking like Indian and Antiguan when he had gone to meet the woman. During Wednesday's trial, Choksi was present through video-conferencing from Dominica China Friendship Hospital while his lawyers were present physically in court. The judge asked authorities to share court documents with Choksi who is admitted at the Hospital. His lawyers said that he does not feel safe in police custody and that he should be sent back to Antigua and Barbuda, local media reported. He also said he would pay for his security and raised the issue of injury marks found on his body and him being hospitalised. In case of an adverse order, Choksi has the option of appealing in higher courts. Last week, the Government of Dominica had issued a press statement that it was verifying the status of Choksi's citizenship with Antigua and Barbuda. Once the information is provided by the Antigua authorities, possible arrangements will be made for Mr. Mehul Choksi to be repatriated to Antigua, the statement had said. A team of multi-agency officials led by a CBI DIG has gone to Dominica to bring Choksi to India if court there clears his deportation to India, officials said. Choksi's arrest has created turbulence in the calm political waters of the neighbouring Caribbean Island countries -- Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica --where allegations have been levelled against opposition parties supporting the businessman having an Interpol Red Notice against him. Dominican Leader of Opposition Lennox Linton had to issue a denial on the reports of meeting Chetan Choksi, the brother of Mehul Choksi, or receiving any money from him. I do not know Chetan Choksi. I have never seen him. I have never spoken to him. I have never met with him, Dominica News Online quoted a video message released by Linton. Local media outlet Associate Times had alleged that Choksi arrived on a private jet on May 29 and met Linton at his home in Marigot locality the next day for nearly two hours where he gave token money of USD 2 lakh and promised funding for elections in return for raising the issue in Parliament. The outlet alleged that Linton was quiet on the Mehul Choksi affair till meeting his brother Chetan. After the meeting, he started attacks on the government over the arrest of the fugitive diamantaire. 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. While Modi is in a London prison after being repeatedly denied bail and is contesting his extradition to India, Choksi took citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda in 2017 using the Citizenship by Investment programme before fleeing India in the first week of January 2018. The scam came to light subsequently.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Dominica HC,Antigua,India,Choksi,Mehul Choksi,Dominica,Punjab National Bank,Linton,New Delhi,Jun 2","originalPublishedOn":"2021-06-02T19:18:04.284576+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"rTtT0ETshxlf","slug":"multi-agency-team-in-dominica-to-bring-back-choksi-if-courts-allow-deportation","title":"Multi-agency team in Dominica to bring back Choksi if courts allow deportation","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-06-01T15:25:05.595759+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1622561044.537042, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, Jun 1 (PTI) A team of multi-agency officials led by a CBI DIG has gone to Dominica to bring back absconding diamantaire Mehul Choksi to India if the courts in the Carribean island country allow his deportation to India, officials said Tuesday.\\u00a0 \\tThe team consisting of two members of the CBI and officials of the other agencies has reached Dominica where Choksi's case will come for hearing tomorrow (local time) before the High Court of Dominica.\\u00a0 \\tChoksi, who mysteriously went missing on May 23 from Antigua and Barbuda where he has been staying since 2018 as a citizen was detained in neighbouring Dominica for illegal entry after a possible romantic escapade with his rumoured girl friend.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"His lawyers alleged that he was kidnapped from Jolly Harbour in Antigua by policemen looking like Antiguan and Indian and brought to Dominica on a boat.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"His pictures emerged from Dominca having red swollen eyes and body marks.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The Dominican government had issued a statement that it is ascertaining the status of his citizenship with Antigua and once confirmed, he would be deported there.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne had said Dominica and law enforcement agencies, unless the court rules otherwise, can deport him to India because he is an Indian citizen, Antigua News Room reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"The problem is if he is sent back to Antigua because he is an Antiguan citizen, even though his citizenship is unsettled, he is still enjoys constitutional and legal protections as a citizen.

Choksi, who mysteriously went missing on May 23 from Antigua and Barbuda where he has been staying since 2018 as a citizen was detained in neighbouring Dominica for illegal entry after a possible romantic escapade with his rumoured girl friend.His lawyers alleged that he was kidnapped from Jolly Harbour in Antigua by policemen looking like Antiguan and Indian and brought to Dominica on a boat.His pictures emerged from Dominca having red swollen eyes and body marks.The Dominican government had issued a statement that it is ascertaining the status of his citizenship with Antigua and once confirmed, he would be deported there.Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne had said Dominica and law enforcement agencies, unless the court rules otherwise, can deport him to India because he is an Indian citizen, Antigua News Room reported.The problem is if he is sent back to Antigua because he is an Antiguan citizen, even though his citizenship is unsettled, he is still enjoys constitutional and legal protections as a citizen. We have no doubt that his citizenship will ultimately be revoked because he did not disclose material of information, he said.Spotting a window of opportunity in the arrest of Choksi in Dominica where he was detained for illegal entry, India dispatched a jet with documents related to cases against Choksy which landed at Douglas Charles Airport in Dominica on May 28.The team of officers are in Dominica to bring back Choksi and coordinate with the local prosecutors to put forward its best case before the high court.The team is arguing that Choksi continues to be an Indian citizen with an Interpol Red Notice against him.Browne has also said that his citizenship is under contest in court as Choksi had not revealed complete information about him.Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi had fled India in the first week of January, 2018 weeks before Rs 13,500 crore scam in Punjab National Bank rocked Indian banking industry.The duo allegedly bribed the officials of state run bank to get Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) on the basis of which they availed from overseas banks which remained unpaid.The alleged corrupt officials did not enter these LoUs in the core banking software of the PNB thus evading any scrutiny. The non payment of these LoUs or bank guarantees worth Rs 13500 crore resulted in default and became a liability on bank.Modi escaped to Europe and was finally held in London where he is contesting his extradition to India while Choksi took citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda in 2017 where he had been staying since his escape from Delhi.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Dominica,India,Choksi,Antigua,CBI,New Delhi,Jun 1,Mehul Choksi,the High Court of Dominica,Jolly Harbour","originalPublishedOn":"2021-06-01T15:24:04.563831+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"nAi4OW1WeK4G","slug":"india-sends-documents-for-choksis-deportation-on-pvt-jet-to-dominica-antigua-pm","title":"India sends documents for Choksi's deportation on pvt jet to Dominica: Antigua PM","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-05-30T16:04:05.486844+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":0.9972972972972973,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1622390584.350015, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" New Delhi/Saint John's, May 30 (PTI) India has sent a private jet loaded with documents for deportation of fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi from Dominica where he is said to have gone with his girlfriend on a romantic escapade from his sanctuary in neighbouring Antigua only to be arrested.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Qatar Airways private jet flew a distance of over 13,000 kilometres from Delhi to Douglas-Charles airport in Dominica on Friday carrying several documents needed for deportation of 62-year-old Choksi who is wanted in Rs 13,500 crore-bank loan fraud case, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Gaston Browne told a local radio station in Antigua.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Indian officials in Delhi refused to confirm or deny whether a plane had been sent to Dominica.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" According to flight status, Qatar Executive flight A7CEE left the Delhi airport at 3.44 am on May 28 and reached Dominica at 1.16 pm local time on the same day, via Madrid.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Choksi was detained in Dominica for illegal entry after his mysterious disappearance from neighbouring Caribbean country Antigua and Barbuda where he was staying since 2018 after fleeing from India in January that year.
