Master Stroke: PNB Scam accused Mehul Choksi fears mob lynching if he comes to India

Gitanjali Gems promoter Mehul Choksi, a key accused in the multi-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case, today moved a special court here seeking cancellation of a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued against him.
Choksi's lawyer Sanjay Abbot moved the application before special CBI court judge J C Jagdale.
In the application, he claimed that he cannot travel because of his medical condition.
The diamond merchant also claimed he was unable to disclose his current location as he was facing a threat to his life from various persons.
Choksi said that he never sought to avoid the investigation or the probe agencies and had duly responded to all the communication that he received from the investigating agencies.
He also contended that his case was completely different from that of his relative and billionaire jeweller Nirav Modi.
Choksi said the Enforcement Directorate attached his assets after registering a case based the first Central Bureau of Investigation FIR pertaining Nirav Modi even though he (Choksi) had got nothing to do with it.
After the hearing, the judge directed the CBI to file a reply and posted the matter for hearing on July 11.
