The ED case is based on the National Investigation Agency (NIA) registered a case & an FIR was filed against Dawood Ibrahim D-Company last week under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for spreading terror and planning to disturb religious harmony, media reports say.

About 70 ED officers searched 10 premises including residences of Iqbal Kaskar, brother of Dawood Ibrahim, Salim Fruit, brother-in-law of Chhota Shakeel, and the son of Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar over the money laundering case linked to the don on the same day, PTI reported.

According to the report, the ED suspects that these people deposit money illegally obtained through extortion, drug trafficking, sale of real estate in different areas of Mumbai, and other unlawful activities. They use the money obtained to use it for terrorist activities or anti-national activists.

The anti-money laundering agency is understood to have recovered documents related to these alleged illegal property deals with links to Indian businessmen operating here and in Dubai, the sources told PTI. Some political links to these shady deals are also under the scanner of the agency.

Kaskar was arrested by Thane Police in 2017 in connection with the extortion case. Thane Police had registered a case of recovery against Iqbal Kaskar and Anees Ibrahim and others whose documents have been taken by the ED.
