Dawood Ibrahim & Underworld Watch Thread

partha · Post by **partha** » 30 Nov 2013 12:50

From US cables leaked by wikileaks -

https://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/ ... 682_a.html

8. (SBU) The media quickly linked the murky arrest of several alleged underworld figures in New Delhi on July 11 to Ibrahim and the wedding. Subsequently, however, it became unclear how, if at all, the arrests were tied to Ibrahim. In early July a group of Mumbai policemen traveled to Delhi to stake out Vicky Malhotra, an underworld figure who had been charged with numerous crimes, including murder, extortion and arms smuggling. On July 11 the Mumbai police arrested Malhotra while he was driving through central Delhi. Accompanying Malhotra was Ajit Kumar Doval, former head of the Indian Intelligence Bureau (IB). Doval was allowed to go free, whereas Malhotra and two associates who were picked up later were taken to Mumbai where they now face criminal charges. Doval himself as well as GOI officials from the Home Ministry later declined to comment about the incident.

9. (SBU) Thereafter the Indian media was rife with speculation about why the former head of India's premier intelligence service was caught with a known underworld figure. As is often the case on media coverage of the underworld, Ibrahim was quickly assumed to have had a hand in the incident. Malhotra is the right hand man of gangster Chhota Rajan, a fierce rival of Ibrahim. Rajan was once Ibrahim's lieutenant, but broke up with Ibrahim after the 1993 Mumbai bombings. The two have reportedly been fierce rivals since. Communal tensions between Ibrahim, a Muslim, and Rajan, a Hindu, were also believed to have contributed to the breakup. Rajan reportedly objected to the bomb attacks, which were part of a chain of violent retributions surrounding right-wing Hindus' destruction of the Babri Masjid mosque in 1992. Rajan was thought to be living somewhere in Southeast Asia, but recent press reports claim that is now hiding in Europe. He and Malhotra are believed to have been responsible for the targeted killing of a number of Ibrahim's associates.

10. (C) The media originally speculated that the IB wanted to use Malhotra to target and kill Ibrahim if he traveled to Dubai to attend the reception. According to this theory, Doval acted as the conduit between the IB and Malhotra. The Mumbai police were either unaware that the IB was collaborating with Rajan, and surprised the IB operation with its own sting, or, plausibly, some even speculated that Ibrahim was aware of the IB/Rajan plot against him and had tipped off the Mumbai police, many of whom work directly or indirectly for him. WTF??

So it looks like there is indeed some truth to the rumors about Chota Rajan being an IB asset. ~~Btw, this Vicky Malhotra, if I am not wrong, married Mamta Kulkarni, the B'wood actress.~~ Edit: She married Vicky Goswami, a drug dealer and not Vicky Malhotra.

12. (SBU) In the days following the arrest Mumbai Police Commissioner A.N. Roy fired senior police inspector Aslam Momin. Roy said wiretapping had revealed that Momin had links with Ibrahim and Ibrahim's two brothers. The media immediately speculated that Ibrahim had used Momin to tip off the Mumbai police to arrest gangster Malhotra in Delhi, thus foiling the IS/Malhotra plot against him, Ibrahim. One paper quoted unnamed IS officials as saying the service was irate that the Delhi incident became public. Suspecting that Momin may have been the leak, the IS gave the Mumbai police evidence documenting Momin's underworld connections.

Dawood’s brother held in extortion case
Iqbal Kaskar was fully engrossed in what looks like a family profession - i.e extortion. How ever the case has been levelled by their own cousin, so don't know if some thing good would happen out of all this.

Added later: This is not a case of deportation & arrest. This fellow (the brother) was deported in 2003, but the cases levelled against him were all dropped (or could not be proven). Ever since this chap is in India.

It was just a deal to not to touch his brother in return for funds for political parties and power that be if I am not wrong even Dawood sister is in Mumbai and is involved in extortion.

Else Mumbai police is very prompt to catch even simple drug peddlers and put them in prison

It is weird , Satta is still offering 1.50 to KB and 2.30 to Khujli; usually the spread becomes closer (or very wide) at the end. In a close game it should get closer. Something is seriously wrong here.In 2013 Delhi elections 12 seats were decided by 2000 votes, at least 3-5 with 200 votes.

Dawood Ibrahim hiding in Karachi, shows a recent intercept

Fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, who has an Interpol Red Corner Notice pending against him for allegedly being a key 1993 Mumbai serial blasts’ conspirator, has been confirmed to be located in Karachi — as disclosed by his purported voice in a recent intercept of his telephonic conversation with an aide.

In the intercept done by an Indian security agency, a voice — purportedly belonging to Dawood — indicated he is in the Pakistani city. Two months ago, there was an intercept of his conversations where he was purportedly talking about his alleged Dubai real-estate investments.

The two-minute conversation, which seemed coded in parts, featured Dawood and an aide discussing issues including: pending works at a construction site at an unclear location, arrangements with a Dubai-based aide for a business deal and the need to send “around three lakh Dirhams” to the latter via ‘Yasir’, said an investigator requesting anonymity.

When the aide said the money could be sent to Dubai via Yasir, Dawood’s voice was heard saying, “Yasir toh yahin Karachi mein hain. Theek hai, main usko bol deta hun (Yasin is here in Karachi. Okay, I will tell him)”.

The Interpol notice, issued at the behest of the CBI, that probed the 1993 blasts case, said Dawood was allegedly also involved in counterfeiting currency and organised (trans-national) crimes.

Dawood asked his aide about Yasir’s schedule and was informed that the latter would leave for Dubai on the next Saturday. The aide told Dawood that he had spoken about the Dubai ‘kaam’ (work) with Tariq. “The interception is a pointer that Dawood is in Pakistan, something the country has always denied and demanded India for evidence to establish the same. The intercept will strengthen CBI’s demand for his return via Interpol,” said the source.

the entire parliamentary fiasco on dawood was a congi motivated IED and congi pasand baboo(n) sprung disaster. High time that the BJP castrated these baboo(n)s.

It shows the GOI in very poor light if they cannot manage their baboo(n)s, time and time again.

just count how many times these filthy baboo(n)s have severely embarrassed the GOI. All parliamentary questions have to be filtered through the respective secretaries, without fail.

Their medical perks are at par with the MPs, including phoren treatment -- a termite queen parting gift to keep the home fires burning. no baboo(n), anywhere in the world, gets such privileged treatment.

the BCCI should be cut to size. They have recently concluded a long term cricket match series with the pakis. Do these morons have an independent foreign policy separate from the GOI?? The BJP has opposed this paki series vociferously in the parliament. Cannot the BCCI take a hint?? or does someone need to ram it up dalmia's commentator's box??

the pakis would be willing to pay very good money, under the table, to sew up such a scrumptiously lucrative deal with India.

Intercepted calls prove yet again that Dawood is in Pak

Around four months ago, intelligence agencies traced Dawood's three calls from Pakistan to his associate Javed in Dubai, yet again confirming the gangster's presence in the neighbouring country. The calls also nailed Pakistani high commissioner Abdul Basit's lie that "Dawood is not in Pakistan".

Javed, according to sources, looks after Dawood's business interests in Dubai and India. Dawood was regularly heard talking to another associate, identified as Tariq, over phone from Pakistan a few months before the three calls to Javed, sources said. While Javed reportedly manages Dawood's businesses including real estate, narcotics, extortion, hawala, betting and fixing, not much is known about Tariq. Dawood's one-time right hand man Tariq Parveen was arrested by Uttar Pradesh ATS earlier this year.

Rajnath Singh: We have not shut our eyes on Dawood Ibrahim

Kolkata: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said that the Indian government did not shut its eyes on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim but international relations at times created obstacles.
Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

"On Dawood, I would only say we have not shut our eyes on him. But at times there are obstacles due to international relations," Singh told reporters in Kolkata.

The government recently found itself embroiled in a controversy over its statement that it had no idea where Dawood Ibrahim was.

later, the Union Home Minister said that the Mumbai blast mastermind was in Pakistan and that it would not "rest" till he was brought back to the country.

In his excellent book Dongri to Dubai, Hussain Zaidi has categorically said that Choto Rajan is protected by India.

According to him, this happened when Dawood was operating out of Dubai, Choto Rajan was his right hand man controlling the day to day operations. Choto Shakeel and Dawood's brother resented the fact that Rajan being a Hindu controlled the gang and so they planned to bump him off at one of the famous Yacht parties that Dawood used to hold.

Rajan was tipped off of this and so he went straight to the Indian Embassy and gave himself up. And he was whisked away from Dubai to Bangkok by Indian intelligence according to Zaidi. Since then he's vowed to get even.

I don't know how accurate Zaidi's information is but according to him when Dawood's daughter's wedding with Miandad's son at a famous hotel in Dubai was announced, Rajan sent two hit men to Delhi and a person whom we all in BRF admire (

) was training them on how to carry out the assassination and these two were even given inside position as waiters.

But as it happens word was leaked out and some guys in the Bombay Police went to Delhi ostensibly to arrest these two hitmen who had warrants on their names and they bust into the hotel room where the last minute preparations were going on. This created sufficient ruckus that the story broke in the media and Dawood didn't attend the wedding. It was hinted that a top political leader (any guesses?) got wind of it and tipped off paid members of the Bombay police to create the ruckus.

Is it little wonder that when this same person whom we admire has come back much more powerful than these worthless politicians that Dawood is shitting bricks?

Meanwhile, apologies if already posted

Dawood hiding in plain sight with new identity: US experts

One interesting quote:

A claim made by these sources is that Dawood in 2006 travelled on an international flight from the UAE to South Africa and "the seat next to him was occupied by a senior politician who knew whom he was talking to throughout the journey". They claim that "up to 2008 (when the Mumbai attacks took place), at least two senior NDA leaders and four top UPA personalities were in direct and indirect contact" with the reclusive Enemy Number One of India, but that "after 26/11, all but one of the six stopped further contact". However, even this remaining holdout among the VVIP Six "stopped contact with Dawood in 2011".

Also,

The sources claim that "a director-general of police and five inspectors-general of police and DIGs have worked for Dawood in the past". However, they add that since the new government took office in 2014, conditions have become more difficult.

I had read about their car being intercepted and "the person we admire" also was in the same car which caused some serious confusion for a while before things were clear but it was too late and the plan had been aborted.

I am 400% there will be a ( or already started) lot of action on the D-front before the 5 years of this govt close ( and if Modi-2 is sworn in, the entire empire will be broken apart)

According to Zaidi it wasn't a car but inside a room at a famous 5 Star hotel in Delhi. The two were being given their tickets, fake passports and waiter badges when the Bombay Police bust into the room, ostensibly to arrest these guys. Zaidi also hints that the actual police guys who came to arrest these guys were not on the pay-roll but were manipulated by higher ups with the tip off. They were also nonplussed when they saw with whom these guys were but the damage had already been done because the media had already been tipped off that the police would be making some "dramatic arrests" from the hotel.

One good thing is that the man whom admire's name was not leaked and when somebody asked him he was supposed to have said he was sitting at home drinking tea when the incident happened.

amit · Post by **amit** » 28 Jul 2015 13:33

Regarding the D-gang, I think that instead of trying a high profile hit job, the man we admire will try to cut off the tentacles of the hydra like business empire Dawood has built up and he'll try to do this in cooperation with a number of countries like the US.

If his money supply is hit, Bhai is good as dead. His own goons will bump him off if he can't pay them and keep them supplied with money, women and liquor.

I would think that the Sunday Guardian report that I posted should be read with this context in mind.

Assuming the report is accurate, do note it's relatively easy to find out which VVIP flew to South Africa via Dubai in 2006. That VVIP must be really worried after the report came out. And even if it's not accurate, the tone of the report would have got many people very worried, they just don't know how much these "sources" know. Dawood has a lot of local help/contacts, cut those off and he just becomes a balding over the hill goon who's (it's reported) has got diabetes.
