New Delhi: India requested authorities in Antigua and Barbuda to detain PNB scam fugitive Mehul Choksi after it received information about his presence in the Caribbean island, government sources said on Monday. They said India was in touch with the island nation following reports of Choksi’s presence there and requested the authorities there to restrict his movements by land, sea and air.
“As soon as MEA received information of the likely presence of Mehul Choksi in Antigua, our High Commission in Georgetown had alerted the A&B (Antigua and Barbuda) government, in writing and verbally, to confirm his presence in their territory and detain him and prevent his movement by land, air or sea,” a government source said.
