Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Gaston Browne has said that Mehul Choksi could be sent back to India in the next 48 hours from Dominica where he was found. Choksi, who had gone missing from Antigua, was taken into custody by authorities of Dominica where he was captured trying to flee.
Speaking exclusively and extensively to our Principal Diplomatic Correspondent Sidhant Sibal, PM Browne said, Assuming no legal impediments, I believe within the next 48 hours Choksi could be perhaps in a private jet, you know, repatriated to India.
'No question of Mehul Choksi's deportation to India,' says fugitive diamantaire's lawyer - "My understanding is that his reaching Dominica is not voluntary. So, I find something fishy," Aggarwal also said.
The fugitive diamantaire, who had recently fled from Antigua and Barbuda, was captured in neighbouring Dominica after an Interpol Yellow Notice was issued against him
