In an exclusive interview with India Today, Mehul Choksi's rumoured girlfriend, Barbara Jarabica, said that she had no role in the abduction of Mehul Choksi and that her name was being dragged into the fiasco by Choksi's lawyers and family members. She said that it was Choksi who approached her during her visit to Antigua last year and introduced himself as "Raj" and later started flirting with her and gifted her diamond rings and bracelets which turned out to be fake.
