Updated:1 year, 4 months ago

New Delhi/Noida, April 15, 2025 (ANI): While speaking on fugitive Mehul Choksi's extradition after his arrest in Belgium, Former Director of Enforcement Directorate (ED), Karnal Singh said, "This is a great success for both the Indian government and Indian agencies- Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate. This is an extradition process and in any country, it can be said that it happens in two stages. The first stage is to accept the extradition request politically and bureaucratically. His arrest means they have accepted that they have to execute this extradition request. Now in the court, the Belgian government will fight on our behalf to bring him to India. So this is a big success for India. We have a lot of evidence and we will succeed in the judicial process and he will come to India...” Former ED Dy Legal Advisor Ashish Chandra Singh on Choksi’s arrest said, "...Mehul Choksi purchased citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda... He has now been arrested in Belgium. The CBI has filed two chargesheets against him, and ED has filed three prosecution complaints under section 44-45. Special Court Mumbai has also issued a non-bailable warrant, on the basis of which Belgium Police have arrested him... Proceedings to confiscate his property have also been initiated... Now that he has been arrested, the ED and CBI will have to send an immediate request for extradition. India already has an extradition treaty with Belgium in existence..."
