He was arrested from there. Apart from Salim Fruit, the statements of Dawood Ibrahim’s brother-in-law Saud Yusuf Tungekar, Dawood’s younger brother Iqbal Kaskar’s partner Khalid Usman Sheikh and Dawood’s late sister Haseena Parkar’s son Plush Parkar can also be recorded.
Case filed against D-Company in February
In February, on the orders of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the NIA had registered a case of illegal recovery against Dawood Ibrahim, D Company, in that case the raid is going on. It is alleged that these people use extortion money in anti-national works. The NIA has registered a case in this case under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, ie UAPA. The connection of all these is being told to 1993 Mumbai blast accused and fugitive terrorist Dawood Ibrahim.
Dawood formed a special gang to spread terror
According to sources, it has come to the fore in the NIA’s investigation that by using terror funding, Dawood is again working to set up an underworld network in Mumbai. He wants to spread terror in many cities including Mumbai again by attacking politicians, businessmen and other famous personalities. For this he has also established a special gang. This is the reason why NIA is actively taking action in this case.
Speculation of action on some ministers of Maharashtra
Maharashtra cabinet minister Nawab Malik is behind bars for years in jail for buying land from Dawood’s sister Haseena Parkar. He was arrested by ED. The allegation of terror funding has been leveled against him by the investigating agency. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya has made serious allegations against many ministers of Mahavikas Aghadi, including the name of Minister Anil Parab. In such a situation, now the question is arising whether the wires of this case are not connecting with them.
25 million bounty on Dawood
There is a $25 million bounty against Dawood, the main accused in the 1993 blasts. His ‘D Company’ has been declared a banned terrorist organization by the United Nations (UN). Dawood was recognized by the UN as a global terrorist in 2003. A Delhi Police official said that Dawood is hiding in Pakistan with his associates. There is strong evidence of this. Dawood had fled Mumbai after the 1993 bomb blasts. His last call was recorded by Delhi Police in November 2016.
