The Central Bureau of Investigation has said in its affidavit filed in Dominica’s high court of justice that Mehul Choksi is a fugitive from justice, the chief conspirator and main beneficiary of the Punjab National Bank scam, and is yet to join investigations despite repeated summons.
The central probe agency called Choksi’s 'gratuitous offer' of being interviewed at the place of his choice outside India meaningless, citing large evidence with which he needs to be confronted.
The Hindustan Times reported that affidavit accuses Choksi of misleading courts in Dominica by claiming there are no proceedings against him in India. He is fully aware of proceedings in India and has even appointed lawyers there, says the affidavit.
