A Special court in Mumbai on Thursday issued notices to the wife and two sons of the late gangster Iqbal Mirchi, telling them to appear before it in February in connection with an ED plea seeking to declare them as fugitive economic offenders under a 2018 law.

Earlier this month, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had filed a plea under relevant provisions of the Fugitive Economic Offenders (FEO) Act, 2018, seeking to declare Mirchi's wife Hajra Memon and sons Junaid Iqbal Memon and Asif Iqbal Memon as fugitive economic offenders (FEOs).
