Fugitive jeweller Mehul Choksi removed from the Interpol database of Red Corner Notices while Opposition leaders remained on the radar of the CBI and the ED.
The 63-year-old fugitive is wanted in India in connection with a Rs 13,500-crore fraud in the Punjab National Bank (PNB).
Choksi not only reached out to Henry but also tried to influence Antigua magistrate Conliffe Clarke through illegal payments.
The account became NPA on February 26, 2018, and January 31, 2017, respectively with Canara Bank and Bank of Maharashtra.
Slamming the central agency, Choksi's Advocate said that the financial institution should have carried valuation immediately after default.
A few days ago, detonators were fixed at various points on the bungalow - located around 110 km from Mumbai - to carry out the 'implosion' and bring it down in a single-shot.
In a prominent media notice on Wednesday, the SBI has demanded repayment of the loan amount sanctioned against various assets in Mumbai, Raigad, Nashik and Hyderabad belonging to Choksi, his family and group companies.
The 59-year-old Choksi surrendered his passport to the Indian High Commission in Antigua along with 177 dollars.
Earlier in September, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had sent a reminder to Interpol about its application seeking a red corner notice against Choksi.
It revealed shocking details of how Nirav Modi and his uncle, Mehul Choksi, in connivance with some bank officials had duped the bank by issuing fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) for the huge amount at PNB's flagship Brady House Branch in south Mumbai, since 2011.
