Based on repeated appeals from Choksi, who is wanted in the Rs 13,000 crore bank fraud in Punjab National Bank and is holed in Antigua and Barbuda after fleeing from India in 2018, the CCF removed his name from the Red Notice list in November 2022, the CBI said in a statement.

CBI working impartially; most cases being probed reported during UPA: Shah

Participating in the India Today Conclave here, Shah said whatever the investigating agencies were doing could be challenged in courts. In 2017, during Uttar Pradesh polls, a big woman leader of Congress had said if they were indulging in corruption, why there was no investigation. She was questioning us. Now they are creating a hue and cry when there has been action, he said. The home minister said these investigating agencies are not above the court and any notice, FIR and chargesheet can be challenged in the courts. Instead of going to the court, why are they shouting outside. I want to ask the people if there is any corruption allegation against anyone, should not there be a probe. All these cases, except two, were registered during their rule. Not during our ..
