In a sweeping operation that once again exposed the financial undercurrents of Mumbai’s underworld, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has unearthed crucial money trails linked to Dawood Ibrahim’s close aide, Salim Dola. 

Acting under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, the ED’s Mumbai Zonal Office conducted raids on October 8 at nine locations across the city, including Dongri, Mazgaon, and Worli, to trace illicit money linked to a vast drug network allegedly run by Faisal Javed Shaikh and his wife Alfiya Faisal Shaikh.
