Fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi fears that he might be kidnapped again and may be taken to Guyana, from where he may be taken away in an unlawful and illegal manner.

Back in Antigua and Barbuda after being jailed in Dominica, fugitive jeweller Mehul Choksi on Thursday said he "permanently scarred" and blamed Indian law enforcement agencies for trying to kidnap him.

Mehul Choksi has landed in Antigua and Barbuda, where he has been staying since 2018 after leaving India, after 51 days of custody in neighbouring Dominica for illegal entry which his lawyers claim was a kidnapping plan, local media reported.

Mehul Choksi, the fugitive wanted in India for allegedly defrauding Punjab National Bank and jailed in Dominica since May, today got bail on medical grounds. Last week he said he was kidnapped from Antigua And Barbuda, of which he's a citizen.

Dominica PM Roosevelt Skerrit termed as "total nonsense" the claims that his government was involved in alleged "kidnapping" of fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, wanted in Rs 13,500 crore PNB scam, from neighbouring Antigua and Barbuda.

The legal team of fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi in London has approached the Metropolitan Police under the "universal jurisdiction" provision to investigate his alleged kidnapping from Antigua and Barbuda to neighbouring Dominica.

Mehul Choksi, the fugitive jeweller wanted by Indian investigators, has alleged that he was kidnapped and beaten by men who claimed to be Antiguan police, in a police complaint filed by his lawyers in Dominica, where he is jailed.
