After Chhota Rajan’s arrest in Bali on Sunday, the Intelligence Bureau and the police are keeping a close watch on every person who was and is associated with the underworld. The first arrest in this regard was seen yesterday when Riyaz Bhati, a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim, was arrested from the Sahar airport with two passports.
Police officials arrested Bhati after they found two passports in his baggage that had differing details mentioned in them. Bhati was at the airport to catch a flight to Johannesburg, where Dawood’s other cronies were supposedly going to meet and discuss the future of D-company in Mumbai.
