Now a court in Dominica has put on hold the deportation of fugitive diamond jeweler Mehul Choksi. Meanwhile, Mehul Choksi's legal team in Dominica had filed a petition after they were allegedly not given access to him, local media reported. Choksi's lawyer Vijay Agarwal claimed that he was forced to get into a vessel from Antigua and was taken to Dominica. Agarwal also alleged that Choksi may have been 'tortured' as there are marks on his body of the force. Notably, Choksi was reported missing on Sunday from Antigua and Barbuda, where he had taken citizenship, sparking a manhunt for the fugitive businessman.
