National security advisor Ajit Doval has a strategy to weaken Dawood Ibrahim and his syndicate. The plan is to identify D-Company's offshore assets and get them frozen, sources say.
IB and RAW teams have begun identifying assets D-Company owns globally. Most of these are in Dubai and Africa, investigations show. This will need extensive use of the global intelligence network, as most assets are benami. Some are in Dawood's daughter and son-in-law's names.
Doval's Dawood dossier lists firms like Dubai's Oasis Oil and Lube LCC, Al-Noor Diamonds and Oasis Power LCC, allegedly owned by Dawood. Other firms include Dolphin Constructions, East West Airlines (now defunct), King Video, Dubai, Moin Garments, Dubai and others.
The dossier names one Feroze as a key syndicate member handling the Dubai operations. "Feroze handles Oasis oil and Lube LCC and is often addressed as Feroze Oasis. He's South Indian, speaks Tamil, Arab, English and Hindi. Feroze handles Al Noor diamonds too," it says.
Most of the syndicate's operations are in India, it says and highlights Dawood's role in the 2008 Mumbai blasts. The dossier details the syndicate's smuggling links in south Asia, Africa and Middle East shared with al-Qaida.
"Dawood has close links with al-Qaida as a result of which the US declared him a 'global terrorist' in 2003 and pursued the matter with the UN to freeze his assets. Dawood controls the hawala system. His syndicate has consistently aimed to destabilize India through riots, terrorism and civil disobedience," it reads.
The dossier quotes a US treasury department report citing D-Company's involvement in shipping narcotics to the UK and Western Europe. "The US has designated Dawood as a terrorist... and maintains a factsheet on him," it says. The US treasury department has details on his movements through Afghanistan in the late '90s under Taliban protection.
The dossier lists one Javed Chutani, alias Doctor, as Dawood's man handling operations in Dubai. "He's a bookie with interests in real estate and his gambling book is in the name of Kamran. Chutani is a bridge between one Tariq Dubai and Dawood," the dossier claims.
The file says Dawood's cash comes from drug trade; fake currency racket, realty and money laundering. Agencies feel once they have control over Dawood's offshore assets, "it'll break the security cordon around him. Once that goes, getting him will be a cakewalk," an officer said.
