SUNDAY GUARDIAN-NEW DELHI: In what is being seen as the last act of a well-thought-out elaborate plan, spread across more than four years since he was allegedly abducted, fugitive criminal and one of India’s most wanted, Mehul Choksi, is suing the Government of India and five other individuals in the United Kingdom seeking a damage of Rs 3.60 crore for what he will allege was mental, physical, and psychological trauma caused due to Government of India’s action.
This development is unlikely to come as positive news for the UK’s Keir Starmer administration and the ongoing Free Trade Agreement talks between the two countries. Choksi on 9 September filed a lawsuit against the Indian government through the Ministry of External Affairs.
