CHOKSI LEGAL TEAM RELEASES VIDEOS AND PHOTOGRAPHS TO PROVE HE WAS KIDNAPPED FROM ANTIGUA

New Delhi, June 15 A U.K.-based law firm looking after the case of fugitive diamond trader Mehul Choksi on Monday released images and videos purportedly showing individuals including Indian-origin men involved in an elaborate operation to take Choksi from Antigua to Dominica on May 23. Justice Abroad, the law firm has claimed, Choksi was kidnapped with the help of a female acquaintance and men who gagged and tied him to a wheel chair and used at least one unmarked boat to transport him from Antigua to Dominica. In documents and photographs seen by The Hindu, the legal team fighting the case in Dominica shows a few men who appeared to be of Indian origin on the deck of a boat that was allegedly used to transport Choksi from Antigua.
