Living in Turkey with the forged documents Ismail Dola was deported to India on 28 April and handed over to Indian law enforcing authorities which also included the Narcotics Control Bureau.
Salim Dola was arrested in Istanbul and brought to Mumbai under tight security.
He is currently in the custody of intelligence agencies and the Narcotics Cell, where he is undergoing intensive interrogation.
It is reported that Salim Dola is considered close to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and has long operated a large international synthetic drug network from abroad.
According to sources, his alleged cartel traded drugs are worth over ₹5,000 crore annually. However, no accurate estimate of the total earnings of this entire international syndicate has yet been released.
