NEW DELHI:

Choksi is accused of siphoning off ₹6,097 crore from the Punjab National Bank and five other similar bank frauds before fleeing from India in January 2018 and was arrested by Antwerp police on April 11, based on an extradition request sent by CBI. He has already spent two months behind the bar there. On Friday, the court did not give any relief to him and the matter will now be heard in late August.
