London, The Wire:<\/strong> An Antigua Police interim report on the kidnapping of fugitive Indian-origin diamond merchant Mehul Choksi \u2013 kept under wraps for 11 months \u2013 is no longer secret. It was reportedly submitted to a court in Dominica, which is scheduled to pass final orders as early as Friday on the case of alleged illegal entry by Choksi, an Antiguan citizen, into the neighbouring Caribbean island state.

The police report says: \u201cThe further along this investigation progresses, the more the facts are aligning with Mr Choksi\u2019s version of the events that led to his appearance in the state of Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n

It goes on to say: \u2018The plethora of real and circumstantial evidence makes it clear that a case of kidnapping with broad collusion among multiple conspirators exists.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

The report names five suspects; two of them \u2013 an Indian-origin man and a Hungarian woman \u2013 it ranks \u201cat the top of the list of suspects\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The report \u2013 which was submitted to the government of Antigua and Barbuda \u2013 in its recommendations sought permission from the country\u2019s authorities to secure a warrant for the Hungarian woman \u2018for conspiracy to kidnap\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It also wants Interpol to be requested \u201cto identify the location and possible return\u201d of all five suspects to Antigua \u201cto be interviewed\u201d. The green light for this has yet to be granted by the government of Prime Minister Gaston Browne.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Asked whether he knew about the case coming up for disposal, Dominica\u2019s leader of opposition Lennox Linton said: \u2018So I understand.\u2019 He had publicly stated \u2013 when criminal proceedings were launched against Choksi in July 2021 \u2013 that the judge concerned should cease these and set the accused free.<\/p>\n

Radio presenter and journalist Loftus Durand \u2013 who broke the story of Choksi\u2019s clandestine arrest and detention in Dominica, thereby forcing the island state court to intervene and thwart the alleged plan to rendition Choksi to India \u2013 told this reporter: \u201cI am hearing from the grapevine that the state (of Dominica) is basically trying to do away with the matter. So I won\u2019t be surprised if the prosecutor will just decide that they are no longer interested in pursuing the matter.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Choksi and his family chose not to comment on the ongoing judicial process. Choksi was released on bail in July 2021 and\u00a0returned home to Antigua.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The 19-page Antigua Police report dated June 25, 2021 confirms the claims made by Choksi and his wife Priti at the time of Choksi\u2019s disappearance from Antigua on May 25, 2021. It also virtually dittos the complaint filed by London barrister Michael Polak in the matter on behalf of Choksi to London\u2019s Metropolitan Police, or Scotland Yard, and the National Crime Agency in Britain, because the suspects were all seemingly based in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Questions that remain unanswered are the motive behind the alleged crime and whether the abductors were acting on their own or had a bigger entity behind them. This can only be clarified by further inquiry, either by the Antigua Police or British investigators or both. Choksi himself has alleged,\u00a0according to the\u00a0Antigua Observer<\/em>, that the persons who abducted him were \u201coperatives of the government of India,\u201d a charge New Delhi rejects.<\/p>\n

The Antigua Police report, a copy of which is in this reporter\u2019s possession, is based on investigations into hotel and villa bookings and car rentals made by the persons suspected to have kidnapped and tortured Choksi, as well as evidence gathered from CCTV recordings of the movements of the suspects in the island, records of taxis hired while they were in the country and the tracking of two yachts said to have been used to transport Choksi from Antigua to Dominica.<\/p>\n

About the Indian-origin man ranked at the top of the list of suspects, the police report states that he checked in to Cocobay Hotel and \u2018initially reported that he was alone but the hotel staff reported subsequently seeing him in the company of a female\u2019 \u2013 identified as the other top suspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 19:43\u201d on May 23,\u00a0 2021 \u2013 the day Choksi went missing \u2013 the report states that the two top suspects and one other \u2013 a Briton from Essex in England \u2013 \u201cleft Antigua on an Executive Air charter flight (8P-EAL) and travelled to Dominica\u201d. Documentary evidence in support of this is included in the report.<\/p>\n

The report suggests a yacht named\u00a0Calliope of Arn<\/em>e was the main boat that carried Choksi from Antiguan waters to Dominica \u2013 a distance of 188 kilometres. It says:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 23\/5\/21\u00a0Calliope of Arne<\/em>\u00a0cleared immigration at 09:20hrs but never left because later that afternoon a yachtsman reported seeing about three or four \u2018mean looking characters\u2019 aboard the\u00a0Calliope of Arne<\/em>\u00a0still anchored in the harbor. At about 5:00 PM he saw the mast being hoisted slowly which raised his suspicion. After hoisting the mast, the boat sailed further out and began tracking from north to south and south to north continuously until after dusk when it was no longer visible. The witness reports that he did not see the ship the following day or ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police report noted that when the yacht cleared immigration, it listed two suspects of Indian extraction \u2018as passengers\u2019. One was a British citizen; the other an Indian national. Both, according to their papers, were from Birmingham in England.<\/p>\n

The Antigua Police report recorded:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cOn 27th May 2021 Mrs Choksi spoke to her husband via telephone in Dominica and according to her, he reported that he was lured to meet (the Hungarian woman suspect) at a Villa #407F on North Finger in Jolly Harbour (in Antigua) with the intention of going to dinner. On arrival at the Villa he was pounced upon by about ten men of Indian and local descent. A hood was placed over his head after he was tied to a wheelchair and gagged and his phone and jewelry taken away. He was then beaten, tased and tortured before being wheeled unto a small boat docked at the back of the villa and taken out where he was transferred to\u00a0Calliope of Arne<\/em>. He was continually tortured and electrocuted (sic<\/em>) along the journey which took him to Dominica on Monday 24th May 2021. On arrival at Portsmouth harbor [in Dominica], a Coast Guard vessel came and he was taken to shore where there were high ranking police officers awaiting who took him into custody. He was accused of entering the country illegally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report then reveals: \u201cOn Tuesday 1st June 2021 inquiries led investigators to Villa #407F (Jolly Harbour) which was rented by (the Hungarian woman suspect) from 18th-24th May 2021. On arrival the villa was unoccupied and a forensic search uncovered small amounts of blood spatter and smudges on the living room floor and dining table along with a broken ceramic ornament on the floor indicating a possible struggle.\u2019 Also found was the Hungarian woman suspect\u2019s \u2018travel itinerary\u2019.<\/p>\n
