CBI writes to Antigua government; seeks PNB scam accused Mehul Choksi's arrest

<strong>New Delhi: The Prime Minister’s office has expressed its displeasure over non-arrest of Punjab National Bank fraud accused Mehul Choksi, and has urged the Antigua government to take him under arrest.</strong> The pressure is being built on Cental Bureau of Investigation, which is further building a pressure on Antigua government; where Choksi fled after ‘buying-out’ its citizenship. CBI has asserted to Antigua government that a Red Corner Notice is no longer required in the case since it is required only for tracing a location of an accused. The agency further urged that the location and new citizenship of Choksi is now known; therefore the procedure of his arrest and thereafter extradition should be initiated. All these demands have been put forth in a letter sent by CBI via External Affairs Ministry to Antigua government. The Antigua government had earlier raised questions over non-issue of a red corner notice against Choksi so far.
