India, March 3 -- The best efforts of the Indian government have failed to have any impact on fugitive Mehul Choksi who has been able to evade extradition for more than six years, after he fled India in January 2018. His case has emerged as an example of how fugitives can evade law by fleeing to safe havens and live a new life without any fear. To make matters worse, the Red Corner Lookout Notice (RCN) that was issued on India's request by the Interpol, too was withdrawn in October 2022, just six days before India was supposed to host its Secretary General Jurgen Stock, who was in India for the 90th Interpol General Assembly.
