The 2018 PNB fraud case has been one of the biggest the country has seen. 65-year-old Choksi was arrested in Belgium earlier last month. Indian authorities initiated an extradition request - to bring the fugitive back to India.
Both fled India around the same time in 2018, but to different destinations. Choksi obtained citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda through the Citizenship by Investment program. Modi on the other hand fled to the United Arab Emirates, and then moved to various locations to escape arrest.
He was finally arrested on the request of Indian authorities in 2019 in the United Kingdom, and was presented in the Westminster Magistrates' Court. Throughout his detention, Modi has participated in court proceedings via video link from prison. As of May 2024, Modi's bail was denied for the seventh time labeled as 'Flight Risk', and he continued to be held at HM Prison Thameside, while contesting extradition to India.
