In a startling revelation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday (February 19) said that underworld don and narco Islamic terrorist Dawood Ibrahim was planning to launch terror attacks on India using explosives and lethal weapons.
According to the NIA, Dawood had formed a special unit that has been assigned the task of inciting violence in different parts of the country, and a few political leaders and famous businessmen are on the radar of the D-Company.
The capital Delhi and the financial hub Mumbai is the prime focus to create a situation that would lead to large-scale destruction of both these cities, the agency said.
This news comes just after the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids in South Mumbai in connection with a money laundering case against Dawood Ibrahim and his aides and nine places in Mumbai and one in Thane were raided by the ED including the residences of Dawood Ibrahim’s late sister Haseena Parkar and brother Iqbal Kaskar.
The agency has taken into custody Iqbal Kaskar who is now in Thane prison in an extortion case and was presented before the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on Friday.
The Ministry of Home Affairs had approved the NIA to keep constant surveillance on Ibrahim’s activities and keep a record of them during the investigation.
According to NIA, Dawood Ibrahim still enjoys a vibrant network of supporters spread across India to excicute the agenda of his Pakistani masters.
Now the NIA is looking into networks that are involved in money laundering through Hawala channels to provide financial help to those involved in a planned attack and create a rift between different religious groups and create a riot-like situation in various parts of India.
