On October 11, 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at nine locations across Mumbai, targeting a drug trafficking and money laundering network linked to notorious underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. The operation aimed to disrupt the financial proceeds generated from drug sales, allegedly managed by Faisal Javed Sheikh and Alfiya Faisal Sheikh, who reportedly sourced MD drugs from Salim Dolan, a key drug kingpin associated with Dawood Ibrahim’s gang.

The raids resulted in the seizure of approximately ₹42 lakh in cash, three second-hand luxury vehicles, including two BMWs, and incriminating documents such as property records and digital devices. A bank locker and several bank accounts suspected of holding proceeds of crime were also frozen.The ED’s investigation follows a case filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Mumbai Zonal Unit, against Faisal Sheikh, Alfiya Sheikh, Aashiq Waris Ali, Nasir Khan, and others for operating a drug syndicate in Maharashtra.

The NCB identified Faisal Sheikh as a repeat offender who sourced drugs from Salim Dolan, a wanted individual believed to be a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel. Despite being granted bail in the NCB case, Faisal Sheikh remains in preventive detention under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (PIT-NDPS).
