Fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi's lawyer has contested the remarks made by Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne who said that the diamantaire may have taken his girlfriend to Dominica on a romantic trip and got caught.
In a statement, Choksi's lawyer Vijay Aggarwal alleged that the woman in question was part of the team deployed to abduct him.
Aggarwal said that the woman "got friendly with the whole family" and later shifted to a house near Choksi's residence in Antigua.
Aggarwal further claimed in the statement that the woman invited Choksi to her house for a short while and there other members of the team deployed to pick the businessman. He said they grabbed him and threw him in a yacht and took him to Dominica.
