Mumbai Court Acquits Dawood Ibrahim's Nephew, 2 Others In 2019 Extortion Case

The prosecution argued that sufficient material was found against all the accused, particularly, the phone call recording and CDRs.

A special court in Mumbai on Friday acquitted fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim's nephew and two others who were booked under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in a 2019 extortion case.

Special judge B D Shelke acquitted the gangster's nephew Mohammed Rizwan Shaikh Ibrahim (Kaskar), Ahmedraja Vadhariya and Ashfaq Towelwala of charges under sections 387 (putting persons in fear of death or of grievous hurt to commit extortion), 120 (criminal conspiracy) and relevant provisions of the MCOCA.

A case was registered against the trio in 2019 for allegedly threatening a builder.
