In a major victory for India, a Thailand court has ruled in favour of Mumbai Crime Branch in the case of gangster Chhota Shakeel's aide Sayyad Muzakkir Muddasar Hussain alias Munna Jhingada.

Earlier, Pakistan had staked claim, saying he was a Pakistani citizen as he was caught with their passport. Mumbai Crime Branch, however, produced his parents' DNA and fingerprints and managed to tilt the case in its favour. Jhingada now has a month to appeal in the higher court in Thailand. Officers said it's a key catch, considering he will be able to throw light on Dawood, Shakeel and others as he knows the ins and outs of the gang's activities.
