Fugitive Mehul Choksi Arrested in Belgium After India’s Extradition Push in ₹13,500-Crore PNB Scam

Fugitive diamond tycoon Mehul Choksi, accused in India’s ₹13,500-crore PNB fraud case, has been arrested in Belgium following India’s extradition request.

Choksi, previously residing in Antigua, allegedly used forged documents to gain Belgian residency.

Sources reveal he planned to flee to Switzerland under the guise of medical treatment.

His arrest marks a major breakthrough for Indian agencies amid a long-standing extradition battle.

The case is now under process as India seeks his return for prosecution.

His nephew, Nirav Modi, remains jailed in the UK, also facing extradition.
