Mehul Choksi, a key accused in the massive ₹14,000 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam, has been arrested in Belgium. His arrest on April 12, 2025, marks a significant development in the long-running investigation into the 2018 financial fraud. Choksi, who fled India to Antigua in 2018, was allegedly involved in illegal financial dealings with PNB through fraudulent Letters of Undertaking and Foreign Letters of Credit. Despite numerous attempts to capture him, he had been evading authorities, using medical treatment as a reason to stay in Belgium. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and CBI had been tracking Choksi's movements for years, gathering evidence to ensure his extradition. Choksi was reportedly planning to flee to Switzerland but was intercepted by Belgian authorities upon receiving vital information. His arrest is a big win for Indian agencies, and they are now focusing on bringing him back to India. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to seize his assets in India, which include properties across major cities. The Indian government is working closely with Belgian authorities for his extradition and to recover the defrauded money.

06:20This whole ghotala came from 2008 to 2017, because in 2018 the ghotala had the citizenship of Antigua's citizenship and it was there.
06:33Gitanjali Gems and Limited, which is a diamond company, took the unpolished diamond from PNB from PNB and it was illegal papers.
06:45This whole ghotala was started, which I am showing you.
06:50In this ghotala, PNB's deputy manager, Gokul Na Shetty and all the ghotala had been arrested.
07:00The most important thing is that this diamond company has not been done in the core system.
07:06The senior bankers have not been aware of this.
07:09Mayhul Choksi and Nirov Modi have been working on this project.
07:15They have 14,000 crores of this ghotala.
07:18But the government is now active and alert mode.
07:22Mayhul Choksi is very fast.
07:25This is a big message for the financial sector to stop this.
07:35This is a very strong country.
07:38You can go anywhere, go anywhere, go anywhere.
07:40We are alert with the law and you will get to the government.
07:43This is a big message for Romana.
07:45This is a big message for the country.
07:46The government is...
07:47This devastation of the country is...
07:48The only point is why it is a bad community.
07:49This country is a bad community.
07:50But it will not be a bad community.
07:52It will not be carried out of our country.
07:54The country is in all the people credible with the country.
08:03It's a really, really great news. We are very glad, particularly not only for India
08:23and for all those who got cheated by Mehul Choksi in India. It's unbelievable and how
08:30he got caught in Belgium. So it's very important now to not only get him back to India, but
08:36also it's most important is to get back the money he looted. Ultimately, that is what
08:42India needs apart from getting Mehul Choksi back home. So I hope the government of India
08:48has identified where he stashed away his money and it will be brought back to India.
08:52So,
09:22If there is a way to come, if there is a way to come, then it will come.
09:27What are the details of this?
