Mehul Choksi Fights Extradition, Opposes Fugitive Economic Offender Status

Mehul Choksi, who is accused of a big bank fraud in India, is currently in custody in Belgium.

The Indian government wants to bring him back to face charges.

But Choksi is fighting the extradition process, meaning he doesn't want to return to India.

The government is also trying to declare him a 'Fugitive Economic Offender' so they can seize his assets.

Choksi is arguing that this should be dismissed because he's already being held.

The government, however, insists the FEO designation is still relevant, given his refusal to come back and face charges.

Both sides are presenting their cases to the court.
