Mehul Choksi’s Lawyer Detained in London, Family Rejects Cash Allegations
What Happened
Indian criminal lawyer Vijay Aggarwal, known for representing fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, was reportedly detained by UK immigration authorities in London over alleged immigration and work-permit violations. Reports say authorities inspected a property in London's Mayfair area following a complaint and questioned whether Aggarwal had the necessary permission to undertake professional work in the UK.
Key Takeaways
The case has drawn attention because of Aggarwal's role in several high-profile financial fraud matters, including Choksi's legal battles. However, no public confirmation from UK authorities has been released, and Aggarwal's family and associates have strongly denied reports linking the matter to cash recovery or any financial wrongdoing, urging caution until official details emerge.
