Don's brothers are held in Dubai sweep

In a crackdown sparked off by the recent murder of gangster Sharad Shetty, the Dubai police detained more than 30 gangsters this morning including two of Dawood Ibrahim's younger brothers - Noora and Mushtakeen - besides a key D-Company associate Aftaf Batki.

Batki is believed to be the kingpin of a counterfeit racket that uses the 'hawala' channel. He was on top of the Mumbai police list after his associate Bharti Aslam Khan's detention under Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act 1999 (MCOCA) late last year.

The others who have been detained in Dubai include Ejaz Pathan, Mohammed Dossa and some gangsters from Malaysia. Their detention comes on the heels of 150 other suspects being detained in Dubai following the murder of Dawood's righthand-man Sharad Shetty on January 19, allegedly by the Chotta Rajan gang. Dubai police have already arrested four members of the Rajan gang in connection with the Shetty murder.

The killers are suspected to have entered Dubai from Nepal.

It is still not clear whether there was an Interpol red-corner alert preceding the arrests.

Their deportation is still a big question, according to police sources.

However, Dubai has deported Mohammed Altaf and Imran Rehman Khan in the past four months. Both were named in the December last Ghatkopar blasts.
