Choksi Now in State Prison’s Custody, Still Hospitalised: Lawyer

The CBI and the Ministry of External Affairs have sought to be impleaded in the matter underway at Dominica HC.

The custody of fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi has been transferred from the police to a State prison by a magistrate in Dominica, reported PTI, quoting his lawyer in India. However, Choksi will continue to remain at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital as his medical condition is said to have “deteriorated”.

“Yes, (Choksi’s) police custody has been changed to prison custody. But he shall remain in hospital as his medical condition has deteriorated.”
