Mehul Chinubhai Choksi (born 5 May 1959) is an Indian-born businessman living in Antigua and Barbuda, who is wanted by the Indian judicial authorities for criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating and dishonesty including delivery of property, corruption and money laundering. In an interview,[1] Choksi claimed that he is innocent and all allegations against him are false, baseless and motivated by political expediency. Choksi has held Antiguan citizenship since 2017. He is the owner of Gitanjali Group, a retail jewellery company with 4,000 stores in India.[2] An arrest warrant for Choksi has been issued in connection with the alleged Punjab National Bank fraud case.[3] He was allegedly involved in stock market manipulation in 2013.[4] In late May 2021, he went missing from Antigua and Barbuda. Choksi claims that he was kidnapped from Antigua by agents of the Indian state,[5] while others stated that he fled the country.[6] After being found and arrested in Dominica under charges of illegal entry he was then returned to Antigua and Barbuda on interim bail for medical treatment.[7] In May 2022 the charge of illegal entry was dropped by the Dominican Government.[8] Investigations into his disappearance are ongoing.[9]
