During the investigation, it is revealed that Hasina Parkar (deceased) was one of the prominent members of D Company and sister and close associate of Dawood Ibrahim, the order read.
The order copy mentioned, “It is alleged that accused Nawab Malik and members of D Company criminally conspired and had taken unauthorized possession/acquisition of the above property. It appears from the statements that Sardar Khan convicted in the Bombay Bomb Blast case was also part of the said conspiracy. In lieu of his assistance in usurping the property of Munira Plumber, he got a covered area of around 368 sq. mtr. in Goawala Compound and the same was given to him by Solidus Investments Pvt. Ltd.”
“For usurping the above property, members of D-Company and accused Nawab Malik, connived together and executed several legal documents to put a facade of genuinity over the criminal act. To this end, Nawab Malik and Hasina Parkar entered into a criminal conspiracy and Nawab Malik agreed to pay Rs 55 lakhs to Hasina Parkar, Rs 1 lakhs to Salim Patel and Rs. 5 lakhs to Sardar Khan. Initially, Nawab Malik occupied Kurla General Store illegally using his clout and muscle power. He misguided the owner and took over the shed in Goawala Compound for acquiring M/s. Solidus Investments Pvt. Ltd.”
After the allegations were levelled against the accused and on perusal of various documents placed on record, it appeared to the Court that there are sufficient grounds for proceeding further with this case. “I am of the opinion that process is required to be issued in this case against the accused arrayed in this complaint,” Special Judge RN Rokade said.
