New Delhi, Dec. 18 -- Belgium's Supreme Court, while rejecting fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi's appeal last week against his arrest in Antwerp on New Delhi's request, ruled that his claims of being a subject of a political trial in India, or that he was abducted in 2021 in Antigua and Barbuda at the behest of India and runs risk of torture are not "factual". The top court at Brussels (called Court of Cassation), in its December 9 order, details of which have been reviewed by HT, upheld the October 17 decision of Antwerp's court of appeals, adjudging all the arguments of Choksi as "inadmissible".
