New Delhi, March 22 -- Fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi is reportedly living in Antwerp, Belgium, alongside his wife, Preeti Choksi, a Belgian citizen, according to Associates Times.

Indian authorities have reached out to their Belgian counterparts to begin the process of his extradition.

However, he left the Caribbean nation for medical treatment, while still holding Antiguan citizenship, Antigua's Foreign Minister EP Chet Greene told ANI on March 19.

This residency status allows a third-country national to stay in Belgium under specific conditions if they are accompanied by their spouse.

According to Associates Times, Choksi allegedly used false and fabricated documents to secure residency in Belgium and avoid extradition.
