He is in the company of other fugitive offenders such as his nephew Nirav Modi and the former beer baron Vijay Mallya. Together, the three of them owe around Rs 22,000 crore to banks in India. There was some respite in the fact that earlier this year, the central government informed the Supreme Court that Rs 18,000 crore has been recovered from assets that belonged to Mallya, Modi and Choksi. As of now, attached assets of these three stand at Rs 19,312.20 crore. Out of this, Rs 15,113 crore have been restituted to the public sector banks.
