The mysterious arrival of
the fugitive diamantaire from India ,Mehul Choski to Dominica is slowly
developing into another scandal, shrouded by mysteries and simple questions
that the Dominica government and law enforcement will not answer.
In 2017 Choski became a
citizen of Antigua and Barbuda through the Citizen By Investment(CBI) program. In
2018 after he and his nephew were investigated for alleged banking fraud and
money laundering Choski flee and has since renounced his Indian citizenship as part of his effort to avoid extradition back to India.
Antigua’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne Browne
told the news agency that Choksi who went missing on Sunday May 23 may have
entered Dominica illegally, possibly by boats. He went on to explain that Dominica’s
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has
agreed to make arrangements to have Choksi's extradited back to India. Browne
stated “"Dominica has agreed (for
Mehul Choksi's repatriation). We'll not accept him back. He made a monumental
error by skipping island. Dominican government and law enforcement are
cooperating and we have informed Indian government to have him repatriated to
India,"
Before we ask the obvious
questions here are some undisputed facts.
MiTC can confirm that
Choksi had been in Dominica Police custody since Sunday night (May23).
Choksi was taken to
Police Headquarters in Roseau and was placed in that special cell where he
could not draw attention. In fact instructions were issued by the police hierarchy to stay
away from that holding cell.
How did police commissioner Corbette and his police know that
Choksi was arriving at Toucari and why Corbette wanted to be there?
If it was an illegal Entry – why was the boat man not
arrested and charged?
If it was a quick escape from Antigua how did the Boatman
know where to enter?
Is the Boatman from Dominica or Antigua?
Did Choksi show signs of physical abuse?
Why the Dominica police waited until Wednesday May 25 to
contact Antigua and was it only because on Tuesday morning Radio host Loftus
Durand had leaked the location of Choksi and was asking some striking questions?
Why Choksi chose to flee to Dominica 117 miles away and not St Kitts just 68 Miles from Antigua. Was Choski really fleeing Antigua or was he taken to Dominica against his will ?
Even before the Dominica Police had "informed" Antigua law enforcement of Choksi's whereabouts - PM Browne had already assumed that Choksi may have entered Dominica illegally. Is PM Browne a fortune teller or just a schemer ?
The answers are blowing in the wind and we will find them.....
