“Daoud’s Love Story”
According to reports, Mehjabeen Shaikh hails from the notorious Bhendi Bazaar area of Mumbai and is said to have caught the attention of Dawood Ibrahim in the 1990s when he was invited by his friend Mumtaz Khan for dinner. During the dinner, Daoud was attracted by the beauty of Mejabin, Mumtaz’s sister-in-law. Although Mejabin’s father initially objected, he eventually agreed to their marriage after learning about Daoud’s father’s respectable background as a police officer.
“Mejabin’s Influence and Journey to India”
According to a media interview with one of her relatives, Mejabin Sheikh was a loving woman who was always in touch with all Daoud Ibrahim’s relatives. According to the relative, Daoud often called Mejabin through WhatsApp during festivals. Hasina Park, Dawood’s sister, said in an interview with the media that Mehjabin Shaikh was the promoter of her family and arranged the marriage of Maluk and Junaid. She discussed the idea with Miandad’s wife, a close friend. Parker mentioned that Mejabin was the only person Daoud was afraid of. He would throw parties while she was gone, but if she came back unexpectedly everything would be cleared up quickly, especially removing any sign of a young woman she didn’t like.
In 2016, Zubeena met her father Yusuf Kashmiri and uncle Salim Kashmiri while traveling to her birth city of Mumbai. She also reportedly visited a government-run educational institution during her visit. The following year, Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said in a video that the Modi government had taken no action while she was in India. Surjewala’s comments came a day after detained Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Iqbal Ibrahim Kaskar told Indian authorities that Dawood’s wife Mejabin She Herzen traveled to Mumbai in 2016 to visit her uncle Salim Kashmiri before secretly traveling to Pakistan.
