A Belgium court has cleared the way for fugitive diamond merchant Mehul Choksi's extradition to India, rejecting his claims about poor Indian jail conditions. The court was presented with detailed images of Arthur Road Jail showing a secure, well-ventilated cell with proper amenities where the PNB fraud accused would be housed if extradited. Choksi, who fled India in 2018, has 15 days to appeal the decision to the Belgian Supreme Court.
