New Delhi: Antigua and Barbuda police chief Atlee Rodney on Friday denied that fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi was abducted by the force. “We have no information or indication that Mehul Choksi was forcefully removed from Antigua. The only assertion we are hearing is from the attorney (of Mehul Choksi) and Dominica police is not confirming that story. We have no involvement in his movement from Antigua to Dominica or wherever he left,” said Rodney in a video interview.
