"In 2015, I had notified it to Gujarat high court and state government and requested them to seize his passport. Had action been taken then, he wouldn't have escaped today," Jeweller DS Jadeja told ANI.

The Gujarat-based jeweller further claimed that Choksi duped him of Rs 60 crore.

"Mehul Choksi duped me of Rs 60 crore and took Rs 9,872 crore illegally from banks," added Jadeja. -- ANI
