A court in Antwerp, Belgium, has rejected Mehul Choksi’s appeal against extradition, upholding India’s request and deeming his prior arrest valid. Choksi, accused in a ₹13,000 crore bank fraud tied to Punjab National Bank, had claimed Antiguan citizenship and renunciation of Indian nationality. Indian authorities had given assurances to Belgium about his detention conditions. Though this is a major legal victory for India, Choksi still may appeal in higher courts, delaying his return.
