Re Mr Gurdip (Dev) Bath
We repeat our profuse apology to Mr Dev Bath and we have today settled libel proceedings with Mr Dev Bath and have paid an agreed sum in settlement of his claim and legal costs to his nominated Charity, St John Ambulance UK.
We completely accept that Mr Dev Bath was falsely and unjustly accused of being involved in the alleged kidnapping of Mehul Choksi, a fugitive from Indian justice, who alleged he was a victim of a state-sponsored kidnapping from Antigua and Barbuda by boat on or about 23 May 2021, on behalf of the Indian Government and handed over to the authorities of the Commonwealth of Dominica, where he is currently detained. The motive was said to be to circumvent ongoing extradition proceedings in Antigua where India is the requesting state.
We completely accept the documented findings of a team of experienced investigators directed by the International lawyer Mr Gary Summers of Counsel, of 9 Bedford Row International Chambers and led by Mr Tarique Ghaffur CBE QPM a former Assistant Commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police Service who have interviewed all the subjects accused of being involved in the kidnapping and have completely exonerated Mr Gurdip (Dev) Bath along with 3 other subjects falsely and unjustly accused: Ms Barbara Jarabik; Mr Gurmit Singh & Mr Gurjit Singh Bhandal.
We completely accept that Mr Dev Bath has always been a very honourable man of complete integrity who would never associate himself with sleeze or criminal activity of whatever kind.
