“In today’s big news: India gave Mehul “Bhai” Choksi, Mr 56s ‘suit-boot’ BFF, a clean chit in Nov 2017, enabling him to obtain Antiguan citizenship. This “Bhai” looted PNB of 13,000 Cr., before scooting from India,” said Gandhi on Twitter.

“Here’s a little video of Mr 56 with Mehul “Bhai” (quiet smiley),” he added attaching a video where Modi is seen praising Choksi.

The extradition request for fugitive diamond merchant Mehul Choksi, who has secured an Antiguan passport and is living there, will soon be sent to the Caribbean country, the CBI said on Friday.
