‘In constructive custody’: Mehul Choksi opposes ED’s fugitive tag; cites Belgium arrest

Mehul Choksi, accused in the PNB scam, contests being labeled a fugitive economic offender, citing his arrest in Belgium at India’s request. His lawyer argues he’s in ‘constructive custody,’ undermining the FEO Act’s criteria. Simultaneously, Choksi faces recovery proceedings by SEBI for insider trading violations and pursues a UK case alleging abduction by Indian operatives.
