Guddu Muslim left on an Etihad Airlines flight from Kolkata airport to Dubai, sources within security agencies told ABP News. It is suspected that he used a fake passport in the name of Syed Wasimuddin. Information has been received about his escape to Dubai through a visitor visa. There is a suspicion that people associated with the Atiq gang helped Guddu Muslim escape to Dubai. 

Police Issue Look-Out Circular 

According to sources, information about Guddu Muslim's escape to Dubai has come to light in the investigation of the Central Intelligence Agency. The agency has shared this information with the UP Police. There has been a stir after the news of Guddu Muslim's escape abroad came to light. A look-out circular was also issued by the police against Guddu Muslim and raids were conducted in almost a dozen states of the country in a bid to nab him.
