Interpol arrest notice against Mehul Choksi

New Delhi, Dec 13 (IBNS): Global police body Interpol on Thursday issued a Red Corner Notice against diamond merchant Mehul Choksi, an accused in the â‚¹13,000-crore loan fraud case, reports said.

This notice by the Interpol is a request to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition. It is issued by the general secretariat at the request of a member country or an international tribunal based on a valid national arrest warrant. In this case, the CBI had made that request.

Interpol has already issued a similar notice against Choksi's nephew Nirav Modi, also an accused in the same case.

In October, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached assets worth over â‚¹218 crore in this case, media reports said. The assets belong to Choksi, Mihir Bhansali, a close aide and US-based executive of main accused in the case Nirav Modi, and a company named AP Gems and Jewellery Park.

Officials said three provisional orders under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) were issued by the central investigative agency’s zonal office in Mumbai for attachment of the properties in India and abroad.

The ED is probing this case along with the CBI where it is alleged that Nirav Modi and Choksi defrauded the Brady House branch of the Punjab National Bank (PNB) in Mumbai to the tune of about â‚¹2 billion (over â‚¹13,000 crore) in alleged connivance with officials.

Mehul Choksi, along with nephew Nirav Modi, fled India in January. The businessman was granted citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda last year.
