The Pydhonie police have arrested the son of a close aide of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim on charges of defrauding a cigarette trader. Accused Aayan Mandal, 30, was detained at Ahmedabad airport on Monday before he was handed over to the city police. Iqbal Jogeshwari, also an accused in the case, is now out on bail. Mandal's arrest came on a lookout notice issued against him on October 6, said police.

Sources said Mandal collected Rs 43.35 lakh from the complainant Fraful Shah on the pretext of providing him with branded cigarettes at a cheaper rate. He then fled to Dubai. The 52-year-old trader met Iqbal seeking help in recovering the money. He first promised to get the money back, but later started threatening the complainant.
