DAWOOD KEY AIDE HELD IN LONDON HOTEL
London, Aug. 19: A key aide of Dawood Ibrahim, India’s most wanted terrorist, was arrested by British police at London’s Hilton Hotel on Friday.
Jabir Siddiq, aka Jabir Moti, is believed to be the right-hand man of Dawood, managing his investments in the UK, UAE and around the world.
The Pakistani national, reportedly in the UK on a 10-year visa, is likely to have been held on drugs related charges. “We are unable to release any details at this stage,” a spokesperson for London’s Metropolitan Police said.
Jabir Moti, 51, is believed to be close to both Dawood and his wife. Jabir’s arrest is likely to have been a result of intelligence sharing between India and the UK.
