Mohammad Salim Dola, a 59-year-old aide to notorious fugitive Dawood Ibrahim, was recently extradited to India after being arrested in Istanbul, Turkey. His capture followed an Interpol Red Notice issued in 2024, as he was wanted for several narcotics trafficking offenses in India. Dola had been evading authorities for over a year, living in hiding and communicating minimally. His downfall came when he ordered a courier delivery to his location, which led Indian security agencies to pinpoint his whereabouts. Upon arrest, authorities recovered two Indian passports and one Bulgarian passport from him, under the alias 'Hamza.' Dola has been identified as a key supplier of mephedrone, a drug seized in south Mumbai in June 2023, and was remanded to the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau until May 8.
