10 Dawood Ibrahimgang members deported

10 Dawood Ibrahim gang members deported to Mumbai from UAE

In a major blow to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, ten members of his gang were arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch here today after being deported from the UAE.

They were earlier in the custody of Dubai Police. Some of them are wanted in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts, allegedly masterminded by Dawood Ibrahim, a senior police official said.

Asked about reports that Aarif, married to gangster Chhota Shakeel's sister, was among those arrested, Mumbai Police Commissioner A N Roy evaded a direct reply, saying he would comment on the matter "after some time".

Earlier this month, Abdul Rashid Hussaini Putter, also of the Dawood Ibrahim gang, was deported from Dubai to facilitate a probe into his alleged involvement in a fake currency racket in the metropolis.
