Rs. 700 cr hawala racket accused receives threat call from Estonia

Surat, 2 April 2014

‘Teraa baap bol rahaa hun, kaisa rahaa nishaanaa…..aglaa target tu hai!”

This was the threat Afroz Fatta, accused of Rs. 700 hawala racket case received on his phone on Tuesday according to Rander police in Surat.

Enforcement Directorate had recently unearthed Rs 700 crore hawala racket in which Afroz Fatta is a key accused.

According to Rander police, Fatta on Tuesday received two miss calls and later third call from +3726868097 number which belongs to Estonia country in north Europe. Fatta received threat in third call.

On Friday evening, Fatta’s partner Afzal Dalal’s brother Amjad Dalal(40) who is a land developer was shot in stomach and injured by two unidentified miscreants near a paan shop in Adajan Patiya area of Surat. The second attempt misfired as the firearm had developed some snag. One miscreant fired at the victim, while the other kept the motorcycle ready to escape.

Locals informed the police that before shooting at Dalal, the miscreants had called him out as Afroz. They asked him his name twice before he was shot. Enforcement Directorate had recently unearthed Rs 700 crore hawala racket in which Afroz Fatta is a key accused. Dalal looks almost like Fatta and miscreants may have took him for the latter.

Therefore, police are looking if Dalal was a victim of mistaken identity.

The caller from Estonia told Afroz on phone, “Ab ki baat bach gayaa hai, ab nahi bachenga“.

When Afroz asked “who’s calling?” the person on other end replied three times, “tera baap bol raha hun“.
