In order to bring Choksi to India, the authorities have demanded the Belgian government to start the extradition process.

The accused was living in Antigua-Barbuda before Belgium
Even before leaving India in 2018, Choksi took citizenship of Antigua-Barbuda in 2017 itself. Mehul Chowki used to refuse to come on a muscle in India by citing poor health repeatedly. Sometimes he is produced through video conferencing. Many of his properties have also been seized in India.
In 2021, the Choksi was arrested in Dominica. Then this picture of him was revealed from jail. In jail, the vigil alleged him of assault.
Dominica disappeared from Antigua, stayed in jail for 51 days
Choksi disappeared from Antigua in May 2021 and reached the neighboring country Dominica. He was arrested here. A CBI team reached Dominica to get him extradited, but before that he got relief from the British Queen’s Privy Council. He was later handed over to Antigua.
However, Mehul Choksi had to spend 51 days in Dominica jail. Here he had argued that he wants to go to Antigua and treat a neurologist there. A few days after reaching Antigua, the Dominica court also dismissed the case filed against Choksi.
