Mohammad Salim Dola, a close associate of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and an INTERPOL Red Notice subject, was produced before Mumbai’s Killa Court after being deported from Istanbul. The court remanded him to NCB custody until May 8 in connection with a 2023 narcotics case. Investigators expect his interrogation to reveal wider international links to Dawood’s drug syndicate.
Absconding drug trafficker Mohammad Salim Dola was arrested in Turkiye while living under the alias “Hamza,” officials said, using a Bulgarian passport whose validity is now under investigation. Linked to Dawood Ibrahim, Dola is alleged to be a key supplier in a major mephedrone seizure. He was brought back to India after an Interpol Red Notice.
