Choksi accuses Delhi of planning ‘kidnapping’

Mehul Choksi, the businessman wanted in India to face charges in the Punjab National Bank fraud case, is suing the Indian government and five individuals in the High Court in London as conspirators for his alleged “kidnap, torture and attempted rendition”.

The Indian authorities have denied the allegations and objected to the UK jurisdiction on the basis of “state immunity” and also sought permission for expert evidence on Indian law.
