Twarit FULL 12.09.2018: Mehul Choksi EXCLUSIVE: Says justice will be served

First time ever from Antigua, fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi has spoken at length to an Indian TV news channel on charges against him in the USD 2-billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud. Choksi and his nephew and fellow diamond merchant Nirav Modi have been charged of defrauding the state-owned bank to the tune of Rs 13,500 crore.<br /><br />In his defence, Choksi in ABP News’ World Exclusive telecast from the Caribbean island nation, has dubbed the alleged scam as a big political conspiracy. He says “they have put so many criminal cases against me…I became a soft target. <br /><br />There is too much pressure on the government to bring people wanted for economic crimes extradited from UK.”<br /><br />Asserting that there was no fraud or scam committed by his company at all; it was rather a fraudulent complaint. He alleged “complacency in the reporting system of the bank to the reserve bank. Why the bank which conducts several audits in a year could not detect this? This is the case is most banks and you will be shocked to know how banks are run.”
