Through this act Dawood wants to send across a message to the Indian government that he is active in the underworld.
India’s most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim who has been on a long hiatus is planning to spread communal riots in the city a mission which remained unfulfilled in 1993. Through this act Dawood wants to send across a message to the Indian government that he is active. The intelligence agencies have intercepted various phone calls in which they have traced Chhota Shakeel giving instructions to his gang members about how to accomplish the task of spreading riots in Mumbai. He wants to create a rift between two communities in the city. The ISI will be assisting Ibrahim for fulfilling this objective.
Political experts have already mentioned about Dawood’s role in some communal riots which occurred in various parts of the country. Since last few years, Dawood remained inactive and by planning to target the city and spread riots the gangster is keen to announce his resurgence in the underworld. He also wants to destabilise the Modi government which is already called for a global resolve to fight terrorism.
Few months back, Javed Patel alias Javed Chikna’s brother Abid Patel and one his accomplices were arrested from Gorakhpur near the Indo-Nepal border by Gujarat Police. Abid Dawood Patel, wanted in connection with the murder of two BJP leaders in Bharuch in November, and his associate Salim Ganchi were nabbed by a joint team of the Gujarat Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB), Ahmedabad. Abid is said to be holding UK citizenship. According to police, the Patel brothers have links with underworld dons Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar and Chhota Shakeel.
India’s National Investigation Agency has approached the Interpol to trace Dawood Ibrahim’s aide Javed Patel alias Javed Chikna in Pakistan. The aim is to arrest and hand him over to India. The anti-terror probe agency has got Interpol to issue a red corner notice against Javed Chikna along with another D Company member based out of South Africa – Zahid Miyan Sheikh alias ‘Jao’. This is apparently in connection to the probe into the conspiracy to attack BJP and RSS leaders last year.
Chikna is on a list of 48 most-wanted criminals—including terrorist Hafiz Saeed and Dawood Ibrahim—shared with Pakistan. India has sought their arrest several times in the past.
