"Was into hawala operations to receive protection money in Dubai, Malaysia, Nepal"

NEW DELHI: The Delhi police have contacted their counterparts in Gujarat and Mumbai to gather details of the cases registered against Fazal-ur-Rehman, the underworld don who was arrested near Sanauli in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday.

It is learnt that the don, popularly known as Fazlu, has not been giving specific information to his interrogators regarding his criminal activities and associates in the underworld. Although he is recalling the crimes committed at his instance, the interrogators are more interested in registering the details in a sequence. In this regard, the police are collecting details of the investigations conducted in cases against him in Gujarat and Mumbai.

They would also gather information about his men arrested in those cases in order to corroborate the revelations made by him. "We are looking for certain details through which he can be confronted and made to reveal true facts," said a police officer.

At a press conference here on Monday, Police Commissioner K.K. Paul had said Fazlu was also into hawala operation through which he received the protection money in Dubai and later in Malaysia and Nepal.

At one point of time, Fazlu had as many as 70 people working for him. After he shifted base to Nepal in December last year, he obtained a Nepalese passport and kept making extortion calls. This May, he had made an extortion call to a South Delhi businessman in which he demanded Rs. 1 crore. However, those following his activities feel that Fazlu had lost control over the extortion business and had started getting involved in manpower racket. Fazlu operated under aliases such as Mohammad Salim and Ching Chang. The Special Cell is also trying to find out from Fazlu if he had links with Dawood Ibrahim.
