Mumbai, Jun 26 (ANI): Missing Bollywood starlet Laila Khan is alive and is in Dubai on a fake passport.

This was revealed by one of her friends who was arrested recently by Mumbai Police.

Mumbai Police said that a Dawood Ibrahim link has also emerged.

Laila and her family went missing an year ago.

Parvez Ahmed Tak, arrested on Thursday, and a suspect in the case, has reportedly told the police that Laila and five members of her family fled the country using fake passports.

Tak reportedly said Laila married a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim and could be in Dubai.

His revelation could put an end to speculation that the starlet was murdered along with her family.

As per his version, Laila has left India and married a man named Sonu, whose identification is not clear.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Kishtwar Abrar Chowdhary said, "When she married him, under what circumstances, etc were not clear during the questioning of Tak."
