ED Raids Mumbai Properties Linked to Dawood Ibrahim, Seizes Cash & Luxury Cars
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted coordinated raids across nine locations in Mumbai targeting a drug trafficking and money laundering network allegedly linked to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Seizures and Evidence
The raids led to:
-
Rs 42 lakh in cash seized
-
Three second-hand luxury vehicles, including two BMWs
-
Property records, digital devices, and incriminating documents
-
One bank locker and multiple accounts frozen
The operation uncovered the proceeds of drug sales allegedly handled by Faisal Javed Shaikh and Alfiya Faisal Shaikh, who reportedly procured drugs from Salim Dola, a known associate of Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel.
Background of the Investigation
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had filed a case against Faisal Shaikh, Alfiya Shaikh, Ashik Varis Ali, Nasir Khan, and others for running a drug syndicate in Maharashtra. Despite bail, Faisal Shaikh remained under preventive detention under the PIT-NDPS Act.
The ED’s investigation revealed that the accused used shell companies and suspicious transactions, including paper deals over Rs 100 crore and foreign remittances, to launder illicit funds.
Ongoing Probe
Authorities are examining the seized cash, vehicles, bank accounts, and digital evidence as part of money laundering charges, while investigating possible routes of illicit fund transfer abroad, including hawala networks and trade-based mis-invoicing.
Conclusion:
The ED raids in Mumbai linked to Dawood Ibrahim underscore India’s efforts to dismantle organized crime and curb money laundering. The investigation into the drug syndicate and illicit fund flows remains ongoing.
