Almost 10 locations in Mumbai and surrounding areas were raided on Tuesday in connection with an old case of money laundering, involving gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his associates. The Enforcement Directorate said that a property deal, which also involves a senior politician from Maharashtra, is under scanner. The agency also searched for people associated with Dawood, who are involved in land grabbing, extortion, drugs and hawala.
The ED action is based on a recent FIR filed recently by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against 1993 Mumbai blasts mastermind and fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and some independent intelligence inputs received by the former agency, they said. The anti-money laundering agency is looking for evidence related to Mumbai underworld-linked hawala, extortion and illegal property deals, the sources said.
