Maha: Rejection of Mehul Choksi's bail plea is major victory for Indian agencies

Mumbai, Apr 23 (UNI) The rejection of the bail plea by a court in Belgium of absconding diamond merchant, Mehul Choksi, is a major victory for Indian agencies seeking to get him extradited, sources in the Mumbai Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Wednesday.
