Police say they can attach Haseena's properties in Mumbai

MUMBAI: Police have started identifying properties of Haseena Parkar, sister of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, and said it would move the court to attach them if the non-bailable warrant against her was not executed.

The NBW against Haseena was obtained on Thursday in a case of extortion, forgery and cheating.

"We will exercise all legal options and move the Court to declare Haseena and four others, against whom the NBWs were issued as proclaimed offenders," Joint Commissioner of Police (crime) Meeran Borwankar said.

However, she said that there is no specific time-frame within which the police would initiate the action.

"We are searching for her and have also alerted police of other states about Haseena's possible presence there," Borwankar said.

Borwankar, however, refused to disclose the details of properties owned by Haseena.

The Anti-Extortion Cell of the police, investigating into the complaint filed by a real estate agent Vinod Avalani, has obtained NBWs against Parkar, her bodyguard Mohammed Shamim Khan, her driver Salim Ahmed Sayyed and builders Arshad Shafi Shaikh and Maqsud Fakir Mohammed Ansari.

Earlier, a local court had also directed the police to arrest Haseena by May 16 and said that a case of criminal intimidation, and not extortion, be made against her in the matter.
