The National Investigation Agency on Monday raided 29 premises in and around Mumbai, including that of the trustee of Mahim and Haji Ali dargahs, in a crackdown on what it called D-Company’s network. While the raids are tied to a February FIR against Dawood Ibrahim and his aides, the Enforcement Directorate had based it to arrest Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik over his alleged financial dealings with the D-gang. 

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said 24 raids were carried out in Mumbai and five were done within the limits of Mira Bhayandar police commissionerate. In its FIR in February, NIA had said that the D-gang had formed a special unit to launch terror activities in India. The FIR had prompted the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to register a case against minister Malik under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Malik is now in judicial custody.
