Underworld don Dawood's shooter held for two-decade-old murder - The New Indian Express


A shooter of notorious
underworld don Dawood
Ibrahim, who was on the run
for the last two decades in
custom officer L.D. Arora
murder case, has been arrested in Uttar Pradesh, police said
Thursday. Alimuddin alias Baba was
arrested late Wednesday from
a house in Fatehpur, around
120 km from here, after police
received a specific tip-off, an
official of the Uttar Pradesh Police's Special Task Force told
IANS. Alimuddin's movements were
being monitored through
electronic surveillance for
some time and police zeroed in
on him while he was staying at
the house of Shamim alias Shammu. According to an official, he has
admitted that mafia-turned-
politician Babloo Srivastava,
then an associate of Dawood
Ibrahim, offered him money to
kill Arora. The Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) had
declared an amount of
Rs.100,000 on Alimuddin's
head but he managed to
hoodwink the federal investigation agency for two
decades. Arora, an assistant custom
collector posted in Mumbai,
was shot dead near his
residence in Allahabad March
24, 1993. He had seized at the
Mumbai airport a consignment of Dawood, containing arms
and ammunition. Babloo Srivastava planned the
murder of Arora along with his
two associates - Kamal Kishor
Saini and Manjit Singh alias
Mange Sardar - who have been
sentenced to life imprisonment. Last year, a Kanpur district
judge had sentenced Babloo
Srivastava to life imprisonment
under Sections 302 and 120B
of the Indian Penal Code for
the murder of Arora.
