Belgian court rejects Choksi’s bail plea, says his lawyer
A Belgian court on Tuesday (April 22, 2025) rejected the bail plea of Mehul Choksi, the diamond merchant who is a prime accused in the ₹13,000-crore PNB fraud case, his lawyer said.
The diamantaire was arrested in Antwerp by the Belgian police on April 12 based on an extradition request moved by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
His lawyer Vijay Aggarwal said the bail plea of his client has been rejected during a court hearing on Tuesday.
Mr. Choksi will contest his extradition from jail custody now, a senior official said.
Mr. Choksi, 65, was located in Belgium last year after he reached there sometime in November 2023 on the grounds of getting medical treatment.
He had been staying in Antigua after leaving India in 2018 and had taken citizenship of the Caribbean country even though his Indian citizenship is stated to be valid.
At least two open-ended arrest warrants, issued by a special court in Mumbai in 2018 and 2021, have been shared by the Indian agencies with their Belgian counterparts as part of the extradition request, official sources had said earlier.
Mr. Aggarwal had earlier stated that Choksi was “extremely sick and undergoing treatment for cancer”.
Mr. Choksi, Nirav Modi, their family members and employees, bank officials and others were booked by the CBI and the ED in 2018 for perpetrating the alleged loan fraud at the Brady House branch of the Punjab National Bank (PNB) in Mumbai.
It was alleged that Mr. Choksi, his firm Gitanjali Gems and others “committed the offence of cheating against PNB in connivance with certain bank officials by fraudulently getting the LOUs (letters of undertaking) issued and got the FLCs (foreign letter of credit) enhanced without following prescribed procedure and caused a wrongful loss to the bank”.
The CBI has filed at least two chargesheets against him in this case while the ED has filed three prosecution complaints.

Terrorists cursed Modi, asked my father to recite Islamic verse before shooting him: Daughter
The family was cowering in fear inside a tent when terrorists came. They asked Santosh Jagdale, 54, to come out and recite an Islamic verse. When he couldn’t, they shot him thrice: once in the head, then behind the ear and then his back.
The 26-year-old daughter of the Pune businessman recounted to PTI the terror the family went through in the horrific attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday (April 22, 2025).
After her father fell to the ground, the gunmen turned on her uncle who was lying next to her and shot him several times in the back.
“We were a group of five people, including my parents. We were in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam and were at a spot called Mini Switzerland when the firing began,” Asavari Jagdale told PTI in a telephonic interview five hours after the shooting.
According to officials, a total of 26 people were killed and several injured, most of them tourists in the deadliest terrorist attack in Kashmir in recent years.
Ms. Asavari does not know if her father and uncle are alive or among the dead.
She, her mother and another female relative were spared, and locals and security forces evacuated them to Pahalgam Club where they remain clueless about the fate of the two men.
Ms. Asavari, 26, a human resource professional in Pune, said the family was on a vacation at the idyllic spot when they heard firing from “people who wore clothes similar to those of local police” descending from the nearby hill.
“We immediately rushed to a nearby tent for protection. So did six to seven others (tourists). We all lay down on the ground as protection against the firing which we then assumed was between the terrorists and security personnel,” Ms. Asavari said.
She said the group of terrorists first came to a nearby tent and opened fire.
“Then they came to our tent and asked my father to come out,” she said.
“They said ‘Chaudhari tu bahar aa ja’” Ms. Asavari said.
Then the terrorists blamed them for supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after which they made some statements to deny that Kashmiri militants kill innocent people, women and children, she said.
“They then asked my father to recite an Islamic verse (probably the Kalma). When he failed to do so, they pumped three bullets into him, one on the head, one behind the ear and another in the back,” she said.
“My uncle was next to me. The terrorists fired four to five bullets into him.
They shot several other males who were at the spot. There was nobody to help. No police or army, who reached 20 minutes later. Even the locals there were reciting the Islamic verse.
“The people who took us to the spot on ponies helped us— three women, including myself and my mother— make the return journey. Later we underwent medical examination to check for injuries and were then shifted to Pahalgam Club.
“The firing happened around 3:30 p.m. It has been five hours and there has been no update on my father’s and uncle’s medical condition,” Ms. Asavari said.

PM Modi said that their evil agenda will never succeed and India’s resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and it will get even stronger.

All possible assistance is being provided to those affected. Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice…they will not be spared! Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and it will get even stronger,” PM Modi said on X.
PM Modi spoke to Home Minister Amit Shah following a terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam and asked him to take all suitable steps to deal with the situation.
26 dead and several injured
Terrorists opened fire at a well-known meadow near Pahalgam town in Kashmir on Tuesday afternoon, leaving 26 people dead, most of them tourists. This marks the deadliest terror attack in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama bombing. The 26 dead included two foreigners and two locals, a high-ranking official said without getting into details.

Priyanka Gandhi alleges misuse of probe agencies, claims PM Modi’s advisers giving wrong suggestions
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticises PM Modi for misusing probe agencies for political purposes and defends her family against baseless allegations in ongoing ED investigations.
New Delhi:Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of receiving misguided advice from his advisers regarding the ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigations into her family. Gandhi claimed that the Indian public is fully aware of the misuse of investigative agencies for political purposes.
Speaking to the media, Gandhi remarked that she was still awaiting an “invitation” from the ED for questioning and expressed curiosity as to why she had not been summoned yet. “I’m waiting for the ED to call me. Why haven’t they summoned me yet?” she questioned, dismissing the allegations against her family as baseless.
The Congress leader also rejected the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s accusations against her mother, Sonia Gandhi, and brother, Rahul Gandhi, regarding the alleged illegal acquisition of properties worth Rs 2,000 crore through the National Herald issue. Gandhi clarified that no property was owned by the Gandhis personally, nor could they sell or transfer such assets. “How can it be called a property grab when the assets are not in their names?” she asked, describing the charges as a “pack of lies.”
Addressing the provocative actions of BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj, who was spotted carrying a bag labeled “National Herald ki loot” during a recent ‘One Nation, One Election’ meeting, Priyanka Gandhi questioned whether the BJP leader was carrying the alleged “loot” in her bag.
Further commenting on the ED’s ongoing probe, Priyanka Gandhi also defended her husband, Robert Vadra, who has been repeatedly summoned by the ED in connection with a 2008 Haryana land deal linked to a money laundering case. She expressed frustration over the line of questioning, highlighting that Vadra was being interrogated about irrelevant matters, such as a Rs 4 lakh transaction he made to his mother 17 years ago. “Why is my husband being asked about a Rs 4 lakh gift to his mother?” Gandhi asked, reiterating that the Congress party had been in power in Haryana in 2008.
Priyanka Gandhi also expressed her concerns while observing the ED’s questioning process. She claimed that many individuals being summoned by the agency were victims of politically motivated investigations related to extortion or vendettas. Despite the repeated questioning, she emphasised that her family members were fully cooperating with the authorities.
Referring to the larger picture, Gandhi said that PM Modi’s tactics were failing and that the public could see through the political motives behind the investigations.
The ED had recently filed a chargesheet before a special court in New Delhi, accusing Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and others in the National Herald case, alleging the laundering of nearly Rs 988 crore. In addition, Robert Vadra’s statement was recorded last week about the money laundering case linked to the 2008 Haryana land deal.
The Congress party continues to allege that the investigations are politically motivated, aiming to tarnish the Gandhi family’s image rather than uncover any legitimate wrongdoing.

HTech’s Madhav Sheth Joins Nxtcell to Lead Launch of Alcatel Smartphones in India; Teases New Honor Products
HTech CEO Madhav Sheth has revealed that he has joined Nxtcell to lead the launch of Alcatel smartphones in India. This move comes shortly after Alcatel announced its plans to make a comeback in the Indian smartphone market. The French brand, operated independently by TCL Communication under trademark licensing from Nokia, has been inactive in the Indian smartphone arena for the last couple of years. Sheth is likely to maintain his position at HTech, which serves as Honor’s distributor in India. Meanwhile, Sheth teased the launch of new Honor products shortly after revealing his involvement with Nxtcell.
Madhav Sheth Joining Nxtcell to Reintroduce Alcatel Smartphones
In an X post on Tuesday, Madhav Sheth announced his close collaboration with the Nxtcell team. “I am thrilled to announce the launch of Alcatel smartphones in India. I will be working closely with the Nxtcell team to spearhead technology transfer, foster patent-driven innovation, and ensure that local manufacturing aligns with India’s vision for tech self-reliance,” said Sheth.

The technology agreements are signed, and the local manufacturing efforts are set to play a major role in strengthening India’s tech ecosystem and expanding export capabilities, he added.
Shortly after disclosing his decision to venture into a new chapter with Alcatel, Madhav Sheth posted on X that Honor has secured approvals to launch five products in India. The HTech’s CEO did not disclose any specifications for the phones. The post, however, suggests that Sheth may continue his role at HTech while working with Nxtcell.
After leaving Realme, Sheth joined HTech in 2023 to bring Honor smartphones back to the Indian market.
Just in time: HONOR has received approvals for launching 5 products in India.
Any guesses?
— Madhav Sheth (@MadhavSheth1) April 22, 2025
Alcatel announced its return to the Indian market in the first week of April. The brand, operated independently by TCL Communication, is planning to bring a range of premium smartphones to the country, and they will be sold via Flipkart’s main platform and its quick-delivery service, Flipkart Minutes. The e-commerce company is teasing the arrival of new handsets through a dedicated landing page on its website.
Alcatel has already confirmed that it will introduce a smartphone equipped with a stylus. The brand’s product line will incorporate some unnamed patented innovations. Alcatel smartphones will be manufactured locally in the country, aligning with the government’s Make in India initiative.
