Belgium's Court of Cassation has rejected fugitive diamond trader Mehul Choksi's appeal against India's extradition request related to the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank fraud. The ruling upholds the Antwerp Court of Appeal's decision that declared India's extradition request "enforceable," dismissing Choksi's claims of potential unfair trial or mistreatment in India. This development marks a significant step in India's efforts to bring Choksi to justice for allegedly siphoning off Rs 6,400 crore in the massive banking scam.

Fugitive diamond merchant Mehul Choksi has appealed to Belgium's Supreme Court against his extradition to India in the Rs 13,000 crore PNB fraud case. The Antwerp Court of Appeal previously ruled his extradition as "enforceable," finding no risk of unfair trial or ill-treatment in India. Choksi, who fled to Antigua in 2018 before the scam was detected, allegedly siphoned Rs 6,400 crore personally. His extradition remains suspended during the appeal process.
