In a relief to fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi, who is wanted in India in the Punjab National Bank fraud case, the Dominica High Court on Monday granted him bail on medical grounds.

Choksi, had gone missing on May 23 from Antigua and Barbuda, sparking a massive manhunt. He was later captured in Dominica and is facing charges of entering the country illegally.

Choksi had filed a case in the high court of Dominica, seeking to quash the proceedings against him alleging that his arrest was "dictated" by representatives of the Indian government.

The case was filed against the Immigration Minister of the Caribbean nation, its police chief and the investigating officer of the case.
