Fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi has claimed that he was "always available for cooperation" with the agencies probing the bank fraud case against him and alleged that "kidnapping attempt" was made by Indian agencies.

Choksi, who was given bail by Dominica High Court to travel back to Antigua for seeking medical help from a neurologist based there, told ANI that his medical condition has worsened.

“I am back home but this torture has left permanent scars on my psychology and physically, rather permanent scars on my soul. I couldn't imagine after closing all my business and seizing all my properties, kidnapping attempt would be made on me by Indian agencies,” said Choksi.
