‘He had connection with D-gang around 20 years ago’
Jaan Mohammed Ali Sheikh, 47, who was arrested by the Delhi Police from the Kota railway station while he was on his way to Delhi, has been under the watch of the Maharashtra police, as he had had contacts with the Dawood Ibrahim gang, according to the State Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS).
No explosives or weapons were brought in Mumbai and both the State and the city were absolutely safe, ATS chief Vineet Agarwal said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Sheikh, a resident of Dharavi, had a case registered against him in the Paidhonie police station around 20 years ago for his alleged involvement in a firing incident. “He had connection with the D-gang around 20 years ago, but recently he had fallen to bad times. He was always on our radar like 1,000 other people. The Central agencies shared the information about this operation with the Delhi Police and not with us. Therefore, it is the Delhi Police which can give more information,” Mr. Agarwal stated.
