It has been reported that the ED found many hawala transactions linked to money illegally sought through extortion, real estate sale as well as other unlawful activities. Reports claim that the authority has established the money trail linking these transactions to Ibrahim and his aides.
The agency’s case is in accordance with a fresh case filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) previously this month against the “D-Company” in the strict Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), stated accounts.
Ibrahim and many of his aides have been reportedly named by the NIA with their responsibilities in terror activities against the country that entailed hawala transactions, claimed reports. Ibrahim is reported to be the mastermind of the 1993 bomb blasts in Mumbai and is India’s most wanted fugitive, cited narratives.
