Following the raids in Mumbai over the past two days, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two associates of the D gang having close links with Chhota Shakeel. The agency has been investigating the case registered against Dawood Ibrahim and members of the D gang this year in February.

The arrested accused are identified as Arif Abubakar Shaikh (59) and Shabbir Abubakar Shaikh (51). 'Both were involved in handling D Company's illegal activities and terrorist financing in the western suburbs of Mumbai," the agency said in a statement.
