Non-bailable Warrants Issued for Mehul Choksi and Wife in Gitanjali Jewellery Case
A Mumbai sessions court has issued non-bailable warrants against fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi and his wife Priti in connection with alleged violations of the Companies Act involving Gitanjali Jewellery's deposit schemes. The case, initiated by the Registrar of Companies, concerns irregularities in schemes like 'Shagun' and 'Swarna Mangal' that collected crores from customers between 2010 and 2014. The warrants followed repeated court absences by the couple, with legal proceedings ongoing amid Choksi's arrest in Belgium in 2025.
