New Delhi: The Dominica police has claimed in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) that fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi was found seated in suspicious condition on the bayside near the Jetty at Toucarie Bay around 11.30pm on May 24. However, the police charged him with “illegal entry” offence around 9pm on May 28, according to details of Dominica’s police aaffidavis. The affidavits filed by Dominica police have several new revelations as well as multiple contradictions.
One of the affidavits filed by a Superintendent of Police of Dominica says that after Choksi was found on May 24 and taken to the police station in Roseau, he was given a mattress and clothing at his request, a courtesy usually not extended to other normal prisoners in Dominica. It, however, doesn’t explain why this courtesy was extended to Choksi by the Dominica police.
