The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has found the links of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar with the Mumbai drug cartel after the agency busted a drugs factory in Mumbai’s Dongri which was being operated by Chinku Pathan, Karim Lala’s grandson.

“Chinku Pathan, who was nabbed by the NCB yesterday, is the grandson of Lala, who was the mentor of Dawood Ibrahim,” an NCB official related to the probe, requesting anonymity told IANS.

The official said that Lala was the original underworld don of Mumbai.

“This cartel was basically being run by the Pathani gang and they were also having relations with the Dawood gang,” he said.

The official said the drug law enforcement agency recovered cash to the tune of Rs one crore, a huge amount of drugs at the factory which the agency busted and also recovered some weapons.

The official said that Singhu Pathan’s partner Aarif Bujhwala is the biggest supplier of drugs in Maharashtra.
