The D-Company has a new star: Anees Ibrahim, brother of notorious gangster Dawood Ibrahim. The Mumbai police suspect that with Dawood and Chhota Shakeel laying low, Anees, 63, is slowly taking over the reins of the gang. This information came to light after cops arrested key operative Ramdas Rahane. Although Anees is in Pakistan, it was upon his instructions that Rahane was allegedly about to attack a hotelier in the city.

Taking on a bigger role
Rahane was arrested on Saturday by an anti-extortion cell (AEC) team led by inspectors Ajay Sawant and Sachin Kadam. According to the police, Rahane had been in touch with Anees before his arrest. But sources said that this was not the only indication of Anees becoming more active in the gang's affairs. Informers had also tipped off the cops that Anees was taking on a more prominent role in the gang's operation.
