According to reports, an Indian was among four students at Michigan public universities who filed a lawsuit against their possible deportation after their student immigration status was terminated.Chinmay Deore from India was among the students who filed the lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and immigration officials.The students argued that their immigration status in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) was illegally terminated, “without sufficient notice and explanation”.The SEVIS is a database that tracks information about non-immigrant students and exchange visitors in the US.Speaking of the extradition of fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, the MEA said that it is working closely with Belgium. Choksi was arrested in Belgium’s Antwerp on Saturday based on a formal request from the Indian government.”Based on our extradition request, he was arrested.mWe are working closely with the Belgium side on his extradition so that he can face trial in the country,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.Choksi is wanted by Indian probe agencies in connection with a Rs 13,500-crore bank loan fraud case.The fugitive diamantaire and his nephew, Nirav Modi, allegedly siphoned off Rs 13,500 crore of public money from the state-run Punjab National Bank (PNB) using fraudulent letters of undertaking.
