Dawood Ibrahim is likely to mark his presence for the reception dinner of his nephew via Skype.
Fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's nephew Alishah Parkar today tied the knot with the daughter of a Mumbai-based businessman in a traditional Muslim ceremony. Mumbai police kept a close eye on the event.
Alishah, the son of Dawood Ibrahim's late sister Haseena Parkar, and Ayesha Nagani got married at a mosque in Nagpada area of south Mumbai in the presence of their family members and close friends.
The marriage rituals started at around 11 AM. The function lasted for about 90 minutes. Nearly 100 people attended the wedding.
The family will host a reception for the newly weds at a Mumbai hotel this evening. Dawood Ibrahim is expected to join the event via video-calling on Skype.
The Mumbai police crime branch has directed the anti-extortion cell to keep a close watch at the event.
Police personnel will maintain a strict vigil during the proceedings, a senior official said.
Police did not rule out rival gangsters trying to disturb peace.
Alishah's elder brother Danish had died in a road accident in 2006. His sister Umaira got married in May 2015.
