	Asia Times Online :: South Asia news - India can't keep a good don down
		He said the current claim by Mumbai police that the mob is back is to create public and government support for encounter killings, which has come under the scanner after revelations of Dirty Harry-style "encounter specialist" Daya Nayak's close links with Dawood Ibrahim and his alleged misuse of encounter killings to eliminate Dawood's enemies.
		Mumbai police have been blaming the recent spurt in underworld activity on the government's imposition of restrictions on eliminating criminals in encounters.
		If the underworld seemed quiet in recent years, it was not because the dons were not active but because new boys were behind the extortions, smuggling and prostitution rackets.

		Although he has left India for good, Dawood Ibrahim is still described as the biggest don in the underworld, although his men have claimed in media interviews that he is no more into crime.
		But the weapons are not enough to take on the better-trained Mumbai Police, which their officers claim have the upper hand vis-`-vis the organised gangs and their "hit teams".
		Nayak says that most members of the underworld were simply terrified of holding a firearm and often proved to be sitting ducks for police sharpshooters.

		Over the years of combing operations, Mumbai police have come to a conclusion that the ISI and other dreaded terrorist organizations have penetrated Mumbai's underworld so deeply that it is rather difficult to differentiate between the two.

		In the bylanes of Pakmodia Street, Mumbai, a police constable’s son started out as a dock thief at Mazagaon Docks in the early Seventies, waged a bloody war to be the king of the Mumbai underworld, and then turned international fugitive with his corporatised crime empire spreading across continents.
		But, in the last seven years, the dynamics of the underworld, the multi-pronged strategies used by the Mumbai police, and the US crackdown post-9/11 have sobered down the terror that once meant Dawood Ibrahim.
		The underworld is under attack, but some believe that it would still be naïve to assume that Dawood Ibrahim is a shadow of his former self.

		The attempt to kill former Mumbai Mayor Milind Vaidya on March 4, the second such attempt since December, is believed to have been the outcome of efforts by top mafia groups to gain legitimacy of sorts on communal terms.

	Extraditions: Flight to Freedom?
		Recently, the Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Satya Pal Singh (now transferred), disclosed that Iqbal Mirchi, another one of Dawood Ibrahim's trusted lieutenants, had been detained by enforcement agencies in the United States and is likely to be deported soon.

		In the 1993 bomb blasts case, which is the 'strongest' case against Ibrahim, his role is that of a 'conspirator', and it is well known that the charge of conspiracy is rarely proved in India, since case is usually based on circumstantial evidence.

	Pakistani Defence Forum > The Karachi Underworld
		Dawood's underworld connects are extensive, and he "sublets" his name in Pakistan, Thailand, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, among other countries, to "franchises" in the fields of drug trafficking and gambling dens.
		Dawood took a turn from his "normal" activities in the early 1990s when Bombay (as Mumbai was then known) was stricken with communal violence, with Muslims in particular badly victimized at the hands of Hindu extremists, culminating in the series of deadly blasts in 1993.
		Mumbai has already had a taste of the underworld’s power and destructive potential and the Kawish Crown blasts may be an indication of what could be in store for Karachi if the authorities do not move fast.

		Attaching, and later auctioning, nearly 20 Dawood properties under TADA in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case has made even less of a difference to him, if reports of his ostentatious lifestyle in Karachi are anything to go by.

		"Mumbai in the late 1990s was full of violence and extortion and fear," explains the Indian-born, California-based novelist.
		While the Mumbai underworld has quietened significantly since the 1990s when the big criminal gangs turned to wholesale extortion to boost their waning revenues, Chandra insists it is merely a tactical quiet.
		For Chandra, who now plys his way between Mumbai and Berkeley, California, where he teaches creative writing and literature at the University of California, storytelling is, and always has been the driving force of his life.

	The Hindu : Luck plays a part in solving cases
		A look at some of the sensational cases solved by the city police in the past few years shows that the police were able to do that mainly due to that "bit of luck." In most of the cases, the police were lucky to achieve a breakthrough as the criminals had bungled.
		Though the underworld elements, led by the Mumbai gangster, Rasheed Malbari, were staying at K.G. Halli here for some months, the police had no information about them.
		It was the incriminating material found at the scene of the blast and interrogation of Syed Ibrahim, a Deendar Anjuman activist who was injured in the blast, that provided vital clues for the police in unearthing the ISI-backed Deendar Anjuman's conspiracy to create communal trouble and attack important installations in the country.

		My favourite "Mumbai underworld" movie used to be Satya, and I have seen it 5 times.
		Calling Maqbool a "Mumbai underworld" movie would be like ignoring its multidimensional richness, for it is miles ahead of Satya or Company or Ardha Satya.
		However Vishal's use of the underworld setting as a mere backdrop, rather than the source of the story, takes the movie to a higher level, both in terms of the plot maturity as well as the cinematographic depiction.
