Mehul Choksi no longer an Indian citizen, can’t be deported, his lawyers tell Dominican court
A magisterial court in Dominica has rejected the bail plea of fugitive diamond merchant Mehul Choksi. This petition was filed in the case of Choksi illegally entering Dominica.
On this Choksi’s lawyers have argued that he is not a citizen of India as Article 9 of the Indian Constitution states that any person who acquires citizenship of a foreign country, his Indian citizenship is automatically revoked. The High Court will resume the hearing of the case on Thursday.
Choksi’s lawyer Vijay Aggarwal said, “We will now move the higher court. Choksi has now been sent to the hospital for treatment under police protection.”
Mehul Choksi mysteriously went missing from Antigua and Barbuda on 23 May. After this, he was detained for illegally entering the neighboring country of Dominica.
There have also been reports that during this time his alleged girlfriend was also present with him. Choksi had been living there since 2018 with the citizenship of Antigua.
However, Choksi’s wife Preeti said that the woman being questioned was not his girlfriend. She said the woman knew Choksi and used to go for a walk with him.
She said Choksi was kidnapped by people who looked like Indians and Antigans when he had gone to meet the woman.

IU files legal lawsuit against 180 individuals over cyber bullying
K-pop idols and celebrities frequently face online harassment, often seen as the darker side of fandom culture. In some cases, cyberstalking escalates to the point where idols are subjected to physical threats. On November 11 (KST), EDAM issued a statement announcing they had filed complaints citing severe harassment cases.
“Our agency, in collaboration with a law firm, has filed complaints targeting those who have engaged in criminal acts, including threats, defamation, malicious false accusations of plagiarism, death threats, privacy violations, sexual harassment, distribution of obscene content, creation and distribution of illegal deepfake materials and other illegal activities,” EDAM ent said in an official statement according to the Korea Times.
IU sues ex-classmate for cyber bullying
According to insiders, in addition to the 180 lawsuits already filed, more charges are lined up. One individual accused in the case also involves the singer’s former classmate. “Among them, there is one individual who is presumed to be a middle school classmate of IU. Despite the ongoing case, it has been found that they continue to harass IU. So, we are responding,” EDAM said.
The case which grabbed a lot of limelight back in 2023 resulted in a major controversy and has so far resulted in six fines, three cases with mandatory education, and one case with probation, according to the agency. Among these cases are accusations from April and May last year, where the singer was targeted with baseless claims of plagiarism.
EDAM also highlighted a particular case where IU faced serious online harassment, including false rumors, sexual harassment, and death threats. Prosecutors have requested a fine of 3 million won (about $2,240) for the person involved. The individual is reportedly appealing the sentence, with a formal trial yet to take place.
EDAM revealed that it has collaborated with “relevant” sources to track individuals using foreign IP addresses or living abroad in attempts to avoid legal trouble. In one case, a suspect accused IU of espionage, claiming she was a spy. However, progress has been delayed as the suspect has continually refused to appear for questioning. This case has now been handed over to the prosecution for further investigation.
