Choksi, who was given bail by Dominica High Court to travel back to Antigua for seeking medical help from a neurologist based there, told the media that his medical condition has worsened. Choksi said he had been "till now" seriously considering to return to prove his innocence in India but his "medical condition is very bad". He also said he is "seriously apprehensive" about his safety in India
Choksi arrived in Antigua and Barbuda on a private plane. He will be receiving medical treatment locally and will report to the Dominican authorities on his condition and every time he leaves his home. "I am back home but this torture has left permanent scars on my psychology and physically, rather permanent scars on my soul. I couldn't imagine after closing all my business and seizing all my properties, kidnapping attempt would be made on me by Indian agencies," he told the media.
